[PATCH 14/14] perf trace: Filter out POLLHUP'ed file descriptors

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Sep 25 2014 - 17:59:21 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

So that we don't continue polling on vanished file descriptors, i.e.
file descriptors for events monitoring threads that exited.

I.e. the following 'trace' command now exits as expected, instead
of staying in an eternal loop:

$ sleep 5s &
$ trace -p `pidof sleep`
