Subject: [PATCH 08/11] perf tools: Add O_CLOEXEC to open() calls in DSO and ELF code
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 22:30:52 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608013057.1942953-9-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260608013057.1942953-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
open() calls in dso.c and symbol-elf.c omit O_CLOEXEC, which leaks
file descriptors to child processes spawned during symbol resolution
(e.g., addr2line, objdump). This can exhaust the fd limit during
long profiling sessions or when processing many DSOs.
Add O_CLOEXEC to all open() calls in both files (12 call sites).
Fixes: cdd059d731eeb466 ("perf tools: Move dso_* related functions into dso object")
Fixes: e5a1845fc0aeca85 ("perf symbols: Split out util/symbol-elf.c")
