Current trace info data lacks the saved cmdline mapping which is
needed for pevent to find out the comm of a task.  Add this and bump
up the version number so that perf can determine its presence when
reading.

Can't we get this from the PERF_RECORD_COMM synthesized at the beginning
of the session + the kernel generated ones for new threads?

We would just call machine__find_thread() and use thread->comm, etc, no?

Yes, I think it's doable. However it needs an additional perf event only to generate the COMM events. So I decided not to do it and reused saved cmdline info from ftrace. But IIUC it also has a problem of possible information loss due to the size of table.

Thanks,
Namhyung
