[PATCH 04/10] perf evlist: Fix errno value reporting on failed mmap

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Dec 20 2011 - 14:18:39 EST


From: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@xxxxxxxxxxx>

On failure, perf_evlist__mmap_per_{cpu,thread} will try to munmap()
every map that doesn't have a NULL base. This will fail with EINVAL if
one of them has base == MAP_FAILED, clobbering errno, so that
perf_evlist__map will return EINVAL on any failure regardless of the
root cause.

Fix this by resetting failed maps to a NULL base.
