[PATCH v2 0/1] perf: check that objdump correctly works

[Alexis Berlemont <alexis.berlemont@gmail.com>]

Hi Arnaldo,

Here is a patch which checks that objdump works without calling it
first with the "-v" option.

Thanks to the shell pipefail option (which returns the rightmost error
status in the shell pipe) and the grep subshell which prevents
"no-match" errors, we are able the use waitpid on the whole pipeline
and get the appropriate return code.

This is the most simple and straightforward solution I found. The
downside might be that it relies on the availability of "pipefail"
shell option. However, I checked that even busybox's shell implemented
it.

Alexis.
