[PATCHv3] perf tools: enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor
From: Yann Droneaud
Date: Sun Jan 26 2014 - 16:20:56 EST
In commit a21b0b354d4a, flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC was
added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace
to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating
the file descriptor.
This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported
by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got
automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.
Changes from v2 [1]:
- use safest perf attr configuration in probe function,
as used in perf_evsel__fallback().
Changes from v1 [2]:
- don't probe PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC for each call to
perf_event_open_cloexec_flag(): don't forget to set
'probed' variable once flag was probed.
- call perf_event_open_cloexec_flag() only once in
util/record.c:perf_do_probe_api().
- fixed minor coding style issue (unneeded braces)
in util/cloexec.c
Changes from v0 [3]:
- add probing for PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag allowing
perf to run on older kernel:
* use "missing feature" pattern in evsel to disable
PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC in perf_evsel__open() if not
supported by kernel;
* add a dedicated function to probe for
PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC support in the current kernel.
This function is to be used by other functions
calling sys_perf_event_open() directly.
- remove PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC from PowerPC selftest
as it's not related to perf tool: it should be part
of a separate patch.
