This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on failure instead of NULL. Test Results: Before Fix: $ perf c2c report -input failed to open nput: No such file or directory $ echo $? 0 $ After Fix: $ perf c2c report -input failed to open nput: No such file or directory $ echo $? 254 $ Committer notes: Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(..., session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure, but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
