Subject: perf tools: Add O_CLOEXEC to open() calls in DSO and ELF code
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b145137fec13dc8fc7fcb14193ce395a1164e3a1;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

perf tools: Add O_CLOEXEC to open() calls in DSO and ELF code

open() calls in dso.c and symbol-elf.c omit O_CLOEXEC, which leaks
file descriptors to child processes spawned during symbol resolution
(e.g., addr2line, objdump).  This can exhaust the fd limit during
long profiling sessions or when processing many DSOs.

Add O_CLOEXEC to all open() calls in both files (12 call sites).

Fixes: cdd059d731eeb466 ("perf tools: Move dso_* related functions into dso object")
Fixes: e5a1845fc0aeca85 ("perf symbols: Split out util/symbol-elf.c")
