Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: ensure comm properly terminated If threads in a multi-threaded process have names shorter than the main thread the comm for the named threads is not properly terminated.
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:31:38 -0700
Message-ID: <1330111898-68071-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)
e.g., for the process 'namedthreads' where each thread is named noploop%d
where %d is the thread number:
Before:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4ads 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
The 'ads' in the thread comm bleeds over from the process name.
After:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
