Subject: [PATCH v9 15/19] perf intel-tpebs: Fix race in tpebs_stop() and tpebs_cmd.out fd handling
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 12:59:05 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104205909.2078411-16-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104205909.2078411-1-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.
