I think it should check the output of the perf report.
The current code produces no samples..

  $ perf record --per-thread -o- true | perf report -i- -q
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  Error:
  The - data has no samples!

We can just grep 'true' in the comm.

Thanks,
Namhyung
