Show each counter's owning process in profiler-cli - #6164
Merged
Conversation
Counters listed by "pq counter list" gave no hint about which process they belonged to, so profiles with many identically-named counters (one "Process CPU" per process) were impossible to tell apart. Each counter line now carries its process handle, name, and pid, mirroring how "profile info" labels processes so the two outputs cross-reference: c-2: Process CPU (CPU) [p-0 Parent Process, pid 47021] [2787 samples] "counter info" gains a matching Process line. The handle is dropped when the owning process can't be resolved, leaving just the name and pid. Closes firefox-devtools#6134
