[PATCH v2 0/2] Minor fixes error handling of perf stat

From: Levi Yun
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 22:02:28 EST


This patchset fixes two issues that were seen when running
"perf stat -r" with perf_event_paranoid=3

1. failed with Too many open files.
$ perf stat -r 1044 -- false
...
failed to create 'go' pipe: Too many open files
failed to prepare workload: Too many open files
...

2. repating error message
$ perf stat -r 1044 -- false
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
...
(repating with same error message 1044 times).

v2:
- Add some comments.

Levi Yun (2):
perf stat: Close cork_fd when create_perf_stat_counter() failed
perf stat: Stop repeating when ref_perf_stat() returns -1
