      perf symbols: Make sure --symfs usage includes the path separator · 972f393b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Minchan reported that perf failed to load vmlinux if --symfs argument
      doesn't end with '/' character.
      
      Fix it by making sure that the '/' path separator is used when composing
      pathnames with a --symfs provided directory name.

      perf evlist: Don't run workload if not told to · 5f1c4225
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The perf_evlist__prepare_workload() method works by forking and then
      waiting on a fd that must be written to to allow the workload to be
      exec()ed.
      
      But if the tool calling it fails to, say, set up the events with which
      it wants to sample the workload for, it will not call
      perf_evlist__start_workload(), but even in this case the workload ended
      up running:
      
        [acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
        Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted
        workload ends up running, it should not...
        [acme@zoo linux]$
      
      So check if at least one byte was written before letting exec() be
      called.
      
      Now the expected behaviour:
      
        [acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
        Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted
        [acme@zoo linux]$
