Adrian Hunter fc18380fb9 perf script: Display negative tid in non-sample events
The kernel can release tasks while they are still running. This can
result in a task having no tid, in which case perf records a tid of -1.
Improve the perf script output in that case.

Example:

Before:

  # cat ./autoreap.c

  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>
  #include <signal.h>

  struct sigaction act = {
          .sa_handler = SIG_IGN,
  };

  int main()
  {
          pid_t child;
          int status = 0;

          sigaction(SIGCHLD, &act, NULL);
          child = fork();
          if (child == 0)
                  return 123;
          wait(&status);
          return 0;
  }

  # ./perf record -a -e dummy --switch-events ./autoreap

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
