Subject: [PATCH v10 07/20] perf vdso: Fix unlocked __dsos__add() and race in __machine__addnew_vdso()
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 23:03:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106070344.329897-8-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106070344.329897-1-irogers@google.com>
__machine__addnew_vdso() called __dsos__add(&machine->dsos, dso) without
holding machine->dsos.lock, and machine__findnew_vdso() and
__machine__findnew_compat() initialized machine->vdso_info and created
temporary VDSO files without synchronization. Acquire
machine->dsos.lock in write mode across machine->vdso_info
initialization, duplicate checking via __dsos__find(), temporary file
creation, dso__set_long_name(), and __dsos__add().
