perf record: Fix poll return value propagation
If the perf record command is interrupted in record__mmap_read_all function, the 'done' is set and err has the latest poll return value, which is most likely positive number (= number of pollfds ready to read). This 'positive err' is then propagated to the exit code, resulting in not finishing the perf.data header properly, causing following error in report: # perf record -F 50000 -a --- make the system real busy, so there's more chance to interrupt perf in event writing code --- ^C[ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 30.292 MB perf.data (~1323468 samples) ] # perf report --stdio > /dev/null WARNING: The perf.data file's data size field is 0 which is unexpected. Was the 'perf record' command properly terminated? Fixing this by checking for positive poll return value and setting err to 0.
