From: Wang Nan <[email protected]> perf_evlist__mmap_ex() can fail without setting errno (for example, fail in condition checking. In this case all syscall is success).
If this happen, record__open() incorrectly returns 0. Force setting rc is a quick way to avoid this problem, or we have to follow all possible code path in perf_evlist__mmap_ex() to make sure there's at least one system call before returning an error.
