Anand K Mistry da231338ec perf record: Use an eventfd to wakeup when done
The setting and checking of 'done' contains a rare race where the signal
handler setting 'done' is run after checking to break the loop, but
before waiting in evlist__poll(). In this case, the main loop won't wake
up until either another signal is sent, or the perf data fd causes a
wake up.

The following simple script can trigger this condition (but you might
need to run it for several hours):

for ((i = 0; i >= 0; i++)) ; do
  echo "Loop $i"
  delay=$(echo "scale=4; 0.1 * $RANDOM/32768" | bc)
  ./perf record -- sleep 30000000 >/dev/null&
  pid=$!
  sleep $delay
  kill -TERM $pid
  echo "PID $pid"
  wait $pid
done

At some point, the loop will stall. Adding logging, even though perf has
received the SIGTERM and set 'done = 1', perf will remain sleeping until
a second signal is sent.

Committer notes:

Make this dependent on HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT, so that we continue
building on older systems without the eventfd syscall.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
