perf symbols: Using O_CLOEXEC in do_open
I've meet a strange behavior with these commands on my gentoo box: 1: perf kmem record 2: CTRL-C to stop 1 3: perf report 4: "Enter", "Enter", "Run scripts for all samples", "event_analyzing_sample". Then 'perf report' says: " No kallsyms or vmlinux with build-id xxxx was found /lib/modules/4.10.0+/build/vmlinux with build id xxxx not found, continuing without symbols ". It is strange because I am sure /lib/modules/4.10.0+/build/vmlinux is right for perf.data. After digging, I found out the reason is that "perf report" generates many open fds, then "script_browse" uses popen to run "perf script" which run out of open files. The gentoo box has a small default value for "max open files", 1024. Yes, "ulimit -n " with a bigger number could fix it, but I think that using O_CLOEXEC in do_open is a better way.
