I ran this and it failed here. But it wasn't because the poll failed, it's
because the test is wrong. If something else exits during the test, then
the poll function will exit early.

Hmm, so another process exits before sleep exits, it fails, yes.

What the check should do is simply read the hist file, get the hist count,
and make sure it's updated after the poll is run, or at least put a filter
on it:

  echo 'hist:keys=comm if comm =="sleep"' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_free/trigger

Which would work as long as no other "sleep" exits during the test.

OK, let me update the series.

Thanks!
