Subject: [PATCH 06/23] perf tools: Use mkostemp() for O_CLOEXEC on temporary files
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:51:39 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610195157.2091137-7-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610195157.2091137-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

mkstemp() creates file descriptors without the close-on-exec flag.
These fds leak to child processes spawned during symbol resolution
(addr2line, objdump), wasting descriptors and potentially exposing
temporary file contents.

Replace mkstemp() with mkostemp(tmpbuf, O_CLOEXEC) at all three
call sites:

  - filename__decompress() in dso.c
  - read_gnu_debugdata() in symbol-elf.c
  - kcore__init() in symbol-elf.c

Fixes: 42b3fa670825983f ("perf tools: Introduce dso__decompress_kmodule_{fd,path}")
Fixes: b10f74308e130527 ("perf symbol: Support .gnu_debugdata for symbols")
Fixes: afba19d9dc8eba66 ("perf symbols: Workaround objdump difficulties with kcore")
