Subject: [PATCH] perf: ignore exited thread when synthesize thread map
Date:   Wed, 22 Nov 2023 10:21:54 +0800
Message-Id: <20231122022154.12772-1-CruzZhao@linux.alibaba.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

When synthesize thread map, some threads in thread map may have
already exited, so that __event__synthesize_thread() returns -1
and the synthesis breaks. However, It will not have any effect
if we just ignore the exited thread. So just ignore it and continue.
