Masami, please try to:

1) Follow existing convention when writing the patch Subject line, when
in doubt: git log tools/perf/util/util.c and check, in this case I
changed it to "perf tools: Fix lsdir to set errno correctly"

2) Add a Fixed line, for this case I used 'git blame' and added:

Fixes: e1ce726e1db2 ("perf tools: Add lsdir() helper to read a directory")

This helps reviewing (now and down the line), because one can go more
quickly check what was the intention in the original patch, to see if it
is really a fix.

In some cases this looks trivial, like in this patch, sometimes its
not...

Thanks,

- Arnaldo
