    perf evlist: Send the errno in the signal when workload fails · f33cbe72
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    When a tool uses perf_evlist__start_workload and the supplied workload
    fails (e.g.: its binary wasn't found), perror was being used to print
    the error reason.
    
    This is undesirable, as the caller may be a GUI, when it wants to have
    total control of the error reporting process.
    
    So move to using sigaction(SA_SIGINFO) + siginfo_t->sa_value->sival_int
    to communicate to the caller the errno and let it print it using the UI
    of its choosing.
