perf tools: Fix probing for PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag
Commit f6edb53c4993ffe92ce521fb449d1c146cea6ec2 converted the probe to a CPU wide event first (pid == -1). For kernels that do not support the PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag the probe fails with EINVAL. Since this errno is not handled pid is not reset to 0 and the subsequent use of pid = -1 as an argument brings in an additional failure path if perf_event_paranoid > 0: $ perf record -- sleep 1 perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 13 (Permission denied) [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.007 MB /tmp/perf.data (11 samples) ] Also, ensure the fd of the confirmation check is closed and comment why pid = -1 is used. Needs to go to 3.18 stable tree as well.
