perf record: Propagate exit status of a command line workload
Currently perf record doesn't propagate the exit status of a workload given by the command line. But sometimes it'd useful if it's propagated so that a monitoring script can handle errors appropriately. To do that, it moves most of logic out of the exit handlers and run them directly in the __cmd_record(). The only thing needs to be done in the handler is propagating terminating signal so that the shell can terminate its loop properly when Ctrl-C was pressed. Also it cleaned up the resource management code in record__exit(). With this change, perf record returns the child exit status in case of normal termination and send signal to itself when terminated by signal. Example run of Stephane's case: $ perf record true && echo yes || echo no [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ] yes $ perf record false && echo yes || echo no [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ] no Jiri's case (error in parent): $ perf record -m 10G true && echo yes || echo no rounding mmap pages size to 17179869184 bytes (4194304 pages) failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) no $ ulimit -n 6 $ perf record sleep 1 && echo yes || echo no failed to create 'go' pipe: Too many open files Couldn't run the workload! no And Peter's case (interrupted by signal): $ while :; do perf record sleep 1; done ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (~593 samples) ] Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1399855645-25815-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
