    tools subcmd: Add a no exec function call option · 1a562c0d
    Ian Rogers authored
    Tools like perf fork tests in case they crash, but they don't want to
    exec a full binary. Add an option to call a function rather than do an
    exec. The child process exits with the result of the function call and
    is passed the struct of the run_command, things like container_of can
    then allow the child process function to determine additional
    arguments.
