Jiri Olsa d36cc60736 perf tools: Restore proper cwd on return from mnt namespace
[ Upstream commit b01c1f69c8 ]

When reporting on 'record' server we try to retrieve/use the mnt
namespace of the profiled tasks. We use following API with cookie to
hold the return namespace, roughly:

  nsinfo__mountns_enter(struct nsinfo *nsi, struct nscookie *nc)
    setns(newns, 0);
  ...
  new ns related open..
  ...
  nsinfo__mountns_exit(struct nscookie *nc)
    setns(nc->oldns)

Once finished we setns to old namespace, which also sets the current
working directory (cwd) to "/", trashing the cwd we had.

This is mostly fine, because we use absolute paths almost everywhere,
but it screws up 'perf diff':

  # perf diff
  failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)
  ...

Adding the current working directory to be part of the cookie and
restoring it in the nsinfo__mountns_exit call.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
