From
Subject[PATCH] perf tools: ensure comm properly terminated If threads in a multi-threaded process have names shorter than the main thread the comm for the named threads is not properly terminated.
Date
e.g., for the process 'namedthreads' where each thread is named noploop%d
where %d is the thread number:

Before:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4ads 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
The 'ads' in the thread comm bleeds over from the process name.

After:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
