perf record: Fix poll return value propagation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the perf record command is interrupted in record__mmap_read_all
function, the 'done' is set and err has the latest poll return
value, which is most likely positive number (= number of pollfds
ready to read).

This 'positive err' is then propagated to the exit code, resulting
in not finishing the perf.data header properly, causing following
error in report:

  # perf record -F 50000 -a

  ---
  make the system real busy, so there's more chance
  to interrupt perf in event writing code
  ---

  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 30.292 MB perf.data (~1323468 samples) ]

  # perf report --stdio > /dev/null
  WARNING: The perf.data file's data size field is 0 which is unexpected.
  Was the 'perf record' command properly terminated?

Fixing this by checking for positive poll return value
and setting err to 0.
