perf top: Expand the range of multithreaded phase
In __cmd_top(), perf_set_multithreaded() is used to enable pthread_rwlock, thus down_read() and down_write () are not nops, handling concurrency problems Then 'perf top' uses perf_set_singlethreaded(), switching to the single threaded phase, assuming that no thread concurrency will happen later. However, a use after free problem could occur in the single threaded phase, the concurrent procedure is this: display_thread process_thread -------------- -------------- thread__comm_len -> thread__comm_str -> __thread__comm_str(thread) thread__delete -> comm__free -> comm_str__put -> zfree(&cs->str) -> thread->comm_len = strlen(comm); Since in single thread phase, perf_singlethreaded is true, down_read() and down_write() do nothing to avoid concurrency problems. This patch moves the perf_set_singlethreaded() call to the function tail to expand the multithreaded phase range, making display_thread() and process_thread() concurrency safe.
