[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.0 30/67] tools/power turbostat: return the exit status of a command

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Mar 29 2019 - 20:51:59 EST


From: David Arcari <darcari@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2a95496634a017c19641f26f00907af75b962f01 ]

turbostat failed to return a non-zero exit status even though the
supplied command (turbostat <command>) failed. Currently when turbostat
forks a command it returns zero instead of the actual exit status of the
command. Modify the code to return the exit status.
