    perf tools: Use readdir() instead of deprecated readdir_r() · df3b2bf6

    [ Upstream commit 7093b4c9 ]
    
    The readdir() function is thread safe as long as just one thread uses a
    DIR, which is the case when synthesizing events for pre-existing threads
    by traversing /proc, so, to avoid breaking the build with glibc-2.23.90
    (upcoming 2.24), use it instead of readdir_r().
    
    See: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readdir.3.html
    
    "However, in modern implementations (including the glibc implementation),
    concurrent calls to readdir() that specify different directory streams
    are thread-safe.  In cases where multiple threads must read from the
    same directory stream, using readdir() with external synchronization is
    still preferable to the use of the deprecated readdir_r(3) function."
    
    Noticed while building on a Fedora Rawhide docker container.
