Subject: perf symbol: Fix ENOENT case for filename__read_build_id
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc4~3^2~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5c5f6fe32df2edb4f72bdca62ec2b9f20b7c5ba4;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

perf symbol: Fix ENOENT case for filename__read_build_id

Some callers of filename__read_build_id assume the error value must be
-1, fix by making them handle all < 0 values.

If is_regular_file fails in filename__read_build_id then it could be
the file is missing (ENOENT) and it would be wrong to return
-EWOULDBLOCK in that case. Fix the logic so -EWOULDBLOCK is only
reported if other errors with stat haven't occurred.

Fixes: 834ebb5678d7 ("perf tools: Don't read build-ids from non-regular files")
