[PATCH 13/14] perf record: Filter out POLLHUP'ed file descriptors

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Sep 25 2014 - 17:59:13 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

So that we don't continue polling on vanished file descriptors, i.e.
file descriptors for events monitoring threads that exited.

I.e. the following 'perf record' command now exits as expected, instead
of staying in an eternal loop:

$ sleep 5s &
$ perf record -p `pidof sleep`
