[PATCH 03/10] perf sched timehist: Handle zero sample->tid properly

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Dec 05 2016 - 22:41:33 EST


Sometimes samples have tid of 0 but non-0 pid. It ends up having a
new thread of 0 tid/pid (instead of referring idle task) since tid is
used to search matching task. But I guess it's wrong to use 0 as a
tid when pid is set. This patch uses tid only if it has a non-zero
value or same as pid (of 0).
