perf record: Force ignore_missing_thread for uid option
Enable perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -u option to ignore
complete failure if any of the user's processes die between its
enumeration and time we open the event.
Committer notes:
While doing a 'make -j4 allmodconfig' we sometimes get into the race:
Before:
# perf record -u acme
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 3 (No such process) for event (cycles:ppp).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
#
After:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record -u acme
WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 9888
WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 18059
[root@jouet ~]#
Which is an improvement, with the races not preventing the remaining threads
for the specified user from being monitored, but the message probably needs
further clarification.
