[PATCH 12/21] perf db-export: Also export thread's current comm

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Wed Jul 10 2019 - 05:00:28 EST


Currently, the initial comm of the main thread is exported. Export also a
thread's current comm. That better supports the tracing of multi-threaded
applications that set different comms for different threads to make it
easier to distinguish them.
