This perf stat option emulates valgrind's --log-fd option, allowing the
user to send perf results elsewhere, and leaving stderr for use by the
program under test.  This complements --output file option, and is
mutually exclusive with it.

The perl distro's make test.valgrind target uses valgrind's --log-fd
option, I've adapted it to invoke perf also, and tested this patch
there.

With certain shell redirections this (56f3bae) fails with a log fd
setup failure. Fix below.

It looks somewhat related to Stephane's patch. Can you we check it too?

Yes, my patch is needed and it was posted over a month ago now.....
Arnaldo, please apply my patch.

Thanks,
