Subject: [PATCH v3 13/17] perf intel-tpebs: Fix race in tpebs_stop() and tpebs_cmd.out fd handling
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 10:31:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016173106.679725-14-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016173106.679725-1-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.out = -1 if
start_command() fails in evsel__tpebs_start_perf_record(), as
start_command() closes the pipe internally on error without resetting
cmd->out.

Include <stdint.h>, <stdlib.h>, <string.h>, and <unistd.h> explicitly for
intptr_t, close(), read(), write(), malloc(), and strlen().
