perf libbfd: Ensure libbfd is initialized prior to use

2025-11-13T20:55:19+00:00

Multiple threads may be creating and destroying BFD objects in situations like `perf top`. Without appropriate initialization crashes may occur during libbfd's cache management. BFD's locks require recursive mutexes, add support for these. Committer testing: This happens only when building with 'make BUILD_NONDISTRO=1' and having the binutils-devel package (or equivalent) installed, i.e. linking with binutils devel files, an opt-in perf build. Before: root@x1:~# perf top perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- root@x1:~# After this patch it works as before.

perf mutex: Add thread safety annotations

2022-10-04T11:55:20+00:00

Add thread safety annotations to struct mutex so that when compiled with clang's -Wthread-safety warnings are generated for erroneous lock patterns. NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS is needed for mutex_lock/mutex_unlock as the analysis doesn't under pthread calls.

perf mutex: Wrapped usage of mutex and cond

2022-10-04T11:55:19+00:00

Added a new header file mutex.h that wraps the usage of pthread_mutex_t and pthread_cond_t. By abstracting these it is possible to introduce error checking.
