Thanks, will add it and stick the original explanation about
ignore_missing_thread so that reviewers of this patch can get a
refresher:

From  ca8000684ec4e66f965e1f9547a3c6cb834154ca
----------
    While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
    may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
    the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
    perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with
    error.
----------

Thanks,

- Arnaldo
