[PATCH] tools api fs: fix the concurrency problem for xxx__mountpoint()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The hugeltbfs__mountpoint() interface seems have a problem
in perf top,sometimes it will get a wrong path in
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events().

There is a very small probability when using perf top
and I got entries like this:
	3.26% 	perf-1.map		[.]0x0000ffffb2993d00
	3.22%	perf-1.map		[.]0x0000ffffb28a2984
	3.26%	perf-1.map		[.]0x0000ffffb2993d00
	...	...			...
I have already installed the perf-debuginfo package.

I find out it's in perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events():
when these following code execute:

    const char *hugetlbfs_mnt = hugetlbfs__mountpoint();
    int hugetlbfs_mnt_len = hugetlbfs_mnt ? strlen(hugetlbfs_mnt) : 0;
    ...	...
    if (hugetlbfs_mnt_len &&
        !strncmp(event->mmap2.filename, hugetlbfs_mnt,
                 hugetlbfs_mnt_len)) {
    		strcpy(event->mmap2.filename, anonstr);
            event->mmap2.flags |= MAP_HUGETLB;
     }

when came to the if condition:
*event->mmap2.filename = "/usr/lib64/libgpg-error.so.0.29.0"
*hugetlbfs_mnt = "/dev/hugepages"
hugetlbfs_mnt_len = 1

So it's the strlen(hugetlbfs_mnt) get a wrong result,
make it only compared the first character and resulting
the mistake.
And that make the filename in map__new() came
to "/tmp/perf-<pid>.map".

It seems xxx_mountpoint() have a concurrency problem when
it scan /proc/mounts and fill path into fs->path in
fs__read_mounts().

The hugeltbfs__mountpoint() is called for each process found
in perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events().
And the working threads is synthesize_threads_worker(),which
is created by perf_event__synthesize_threads(),threads number
equals to the cpus number.
These threads share the fs__entries and fill path into
fs->path concurrently in perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events()
but without any synchronizing measures,cause the problem.

This patch add a mutex in struct fs,and a interface
fs_fill_path() for copying the path into fs->path.
When the target fs name be found in fs__read_mounts(),
using fs_fill_path() to copy the path into fs->path,
the mutex is needed during the coping procedure.

And add memory barrier to ensure the path is completely
filled before the fs->found is set.
