David Ahern 236a3bbd5c perf tools: Sample after exit loses thread correlation
Occassionally events (e.g., context-switch, sched tracepoints) are losing
the conversion of sample data associated with a thread. For example:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -c 1 -a -- sleep 5
$ perf script
<selected events shown>
    ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
    ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
:30482 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...

The last line lost the conversion from tid to comm. If you look at the events
(perf script -D) you see why - a SAMPLE event is generated after the EXIT:

0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0
... thread: :30482:30482

When perf processes the EXIT event the thread is moved to the dead_threads
list. When the SAMPLE event is processed no thread exists for the pid so a new
one is created by machine__findnew_thread.

This patch address the problem by delaying the move to the dead_threads list
until the tid is re-used (per Adrian's suggestion).

With this patch we get the previous example shows:

  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...

and

  0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
  0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0
  ... thread: ls:30482

v4: per Arnaldo's request add dead flag to thread struct and set when task exits

v3: re-do from a time based check to a delayed move to dead_threads list

v2: Rebased to latest perf/core branch. Changed time comparison to use
    a macro which explicitly shows the time basis
