Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d1d438a3b1 perf trace: Beautify pid_t arguments
When reading the syscall tracepoint /format file, look for arguments
of type "pid_t" and attach the PID beautifier, that will do a lookup
on the threads it knows, i.e. the ones that came from PERF_RECORD_COMM
events and add the COMM after the pid in such args:

Excerpt of a system wide trace for syscalls with pid_t args:
