[PATCH 1/3] perf record: Allocate area for sample_id_hdr in a synthesized comm event

[PATCH 1/3] perf record: Allocate area for sample_id_hdr in a synthesized comm event

[Namhyung Kim]

A previous patch added a synthesized comm event for forked child
process but it missed that the event should contain area for
sample_id_hdr at the end.  It worked by accident since the perf_event
union contains bigger event structs like mmap_events.

This patch fixes it by dynamically allocating event struct including
those area like in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map().

[PATCH 2/3] perf top: Fix unresolved comm when -s comm is used

[Namhyung Kim]

The perf top uses 'dso,symbol' sort keys by default so it overlooked a
problem in task's comm resolving.  When the sort key contains 'comm',
some task's comm is not shown properly.  This is because the
perf_top__mmap_read_idx() checks the cpumode value improperly.

The cpumode value of non-sample events are 0 (PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_
UNKNOWN) so the events will be ignored by the switch statement.  This patch
allows it for non-sample events.
