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) ]

In output of perf sched map, any shortname of thread will be explained
at the first time when it appear.
Example:
*A0 228836.978985 secs A0 => perf:23032
*. A0 228836.979016 secs B0 => swapper:0
. *C0 228836.979099 secs C0 => migration/3:22
*A0 . C0 228836.979115 secs
A0 . *. 228836.979115 secs
But B0, which is explained as swapper:0 did not appear in the
left part of output. Instead, we use '.' as the shortname of
swapper:0. So the comment of "B0 => swapper:0" is not easy to
understand.
This patch clarify the output of perf sched map with not allocating
one letter-number shortname for swapper:0 and print ". => swapper:0"
as the explanation for swapper:0.
Example:
*A0 228836.978985 secs A0 => perf:23032
* . A0 228836.979016 secs . => swapper:0
. *B0 228836.979099 secs B0 => migration/3:22
*A0 . B0 228836.979115 secs
A0 . * . 228836.979115 secs
A0 *C0 . 228836.979225 secs C0 => ksoftirqd/2:18
A0 *D0 . 228836.979236 secs D0 => rcu_sched:7

arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack
requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable
stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll
needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the
appropriate linker note.
Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as
suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if
we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files.
Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when
(statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack.
But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an
indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.

The array debugfs_known_mountpoints[] will cause extra '/'

Remove it.

Modules installed outside of the kernel's build system should go into
"%s/lib/modules/%s/extra", but at present, perf will only look at them
when they are in "%s/lib/modules/%s/kernel". Lets encourage good
citizenship by relaxing this requirement to "%s/lib/modules/%s". This
way open source modules that are out-of-tree have no incentive to start
populating a directory reserved for in-kernel modules and I can stop
hex-editing my system's perf binary when profiling OSS out-of-tree
modules.
Feedback from Namhyung Kim correctly revealed that the hex-edits that I
had been doing meant that perf was also traversing the build and source
symlinks in %s/lib/modules/%s. That is undesireable, so we explicitly
exclude them from traversal with a minor tweak to the traversal routine.
