That is really old:

Fixes: 1a853e36871b533c ("perf record: Allow specifying a pid to record")

Circa 2009, the PERF_RECORD_COMM is ok as TASK_COMM_LEN is 16.

But I think there are other places synthesizing PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
jitdump maybe:

tools/perf/bench/inject-buildid.c, but it uses memset to zero the whole
union, no problem.

tools/perf/util/jitdump.c
jit_repipe_code_load() but it uses calloc to allocate the union
perf_event, so no problem as well.

Thanks, applied.

so we did not zero the extra alignment bytes, nice ;-) looks good
