    perf evlist: Monitor POLLERR and POLLHUP events too · 8179672c
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
    We want to know when the fd went away, like when a monitored thread
    exits.
    
    If we do not monitor such events, then the tools will wait forever on
    events from a vanished thread, like when running:
    
     $ sleep 5s &
     $ perf record -p `pidof sleep`
    
    This builds upon the kernel patch by Jiri Olsa that actually makes a
    poll on those file descriptors to return POLLHUP.
    
    It is also needed to change the tools to use
    perf_evlist__filter_pollfd() to check if there are remainings fds to
    monitor or if all are gone, in which case they will exit the
    poll/mmap/read loop.
