Yes, but it was incorrect information.  The default sort key of 'perf
top' doesn't contain 'comm' (or 'pid') so hist entries it shows can
have samples from different threads.  The result is that it only shows
thread of the first sample of the entry.  Filtering based on this
incorrect info should be avoided IMHO.
