Subject: [PATCH v10 15/20] perf intel-tpebs: Fix race in tpebs_stop() and tpebs_cmd.out fd handling
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 23:03:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106070344.329897-16-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106070344.329897-1-irogers@google.com>
In tpebs_stop(), read tpebs_reader_thread into a local variable before
releasing tpebs_mtx to call pthread_join().
Transfer ownership of tpebs_cmd.out to __sample_reader() by passing it
as the thread argument and setting tpebs_cmd.out = -1 in
evsel__tpebs_open() so tpebs_stop() does not double-close the fd closed
by perf_session__delete(). Also reset tpebs_cmd.pid = 0 and
tpebs_cmd.out = -1 and return early if start_command() fails in
evsel__tpebs_start_perf_record(), as start_command() closes the pipe
internally and may leave cmd->pid = -1 on error, and join
tpebs_reader_thread on error in evsel__tpebs_open() if it was already
started.
Include <pthread.h>, <signal.h>, <stdint.h>, <stdlib.h>, <string.h>, and
<unistd.h> explicitly.
