Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf report: Fix output of 'pid' sort key
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 14:30:25 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160920053025.13989-3-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160920053025.13989-1-namhyung@kernel.org>

The thread->comm can be changed during the lifetime due to prctl() or
exec().  For this reason each hist entry has a pointer to a comm at the
time as well as a pointer to the thread.  So it should use the he->comm
instead of thread__comm(he->thread) which always returns the latest
comm.  This can be seen using following example:

  $ perf report --hierarchy -s comm,pid
