perf tools: Restore proper cwd on return from mnt namespace
[ Upstream commit b01c1f69c8660eaeab7d365cd570103c5c073a02 ]
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.
