From: Yann Droneaud Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2014 20:36:33 +0000 (+0100) Subject: perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~4647^2~5 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a21b0b354d4ac39be691f51c53562e2c24443d9e;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).
