tools/perf/sched: Update process names of processes in zombie state for both -s and -S options
In redhat perftool testsuite, observed fail for this test:
-- [ FAIL ] -- perf_sched :: test_timehist :: --with-summary (output regexp parsing)
This led to analysis of "perf sched timehist" summary options.
# perf sched record -a -o ./perf.data -- sleep 0.1
This will record using perf sched record
perf sched timeliest has two options "-s" and "-S"
# perf sched -i ./perf.data timehist -S
-S : Captures summary also at the end
# perf sched -i ./perf.data timehist -s
-s : Captures only summary
The test saves -s result which has only summary and compares with
summary which comes at the end from -S . Since there is a difference
in these two, test fails.
Checking the behaviour change in -S and -s results, difference is:
rcu_sched[16] 2 4 0.013 0.001 0.003 0.006 33.23 0
migration/11[73] 2 1 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.00 0
migration/3[33] 2 1 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.00 0
- :216753[216753] -1 1 0.041 0.041 0.041 0.041 0.00 0
+ sleep[216753] -1 1 0.041 0.041 0.041 0.041 0.00 0
migration/8[58] 2 1 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.00 0
NetworkManager[811] 1 2 0.089 0.028 0.044 0.060 36.06 0
migration/13[83] 2 1 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.00 0
Here 216753 is pid for sleep which is a zombie process. This is
happening in latest kernel due to an update in "-S" result.
In -S, the process name appears in the results "sleep[216753]",
where as in the -s, only pid is present in the summary result
":216753[216753]".
After commit 39f473f6d0b2 ("perf sched timehist: decode process names
of processes in zombie state")
for -S option, if process name is using pid, it uses different way to
set it. So that we get the process name and not just Pid.
This change went in only for timehist_print_sample() function.
Add this improvement in generic place so that even -s option (which
captures summary) also will have meaningful information.
