From a48cf1c921a7072324b5ce245ccddffec4c970dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernd Edlinger Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 21:27:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve [ Upstream commit 6914303824bb572278568330d72fc1f8f9814e67 ] This changes perf_event_set_clock to use the new exec_update_mutex instead of cred_guard_mutex. This should be safe, as the credentials are only used for reading. Signed-off-by: Bernd Edlinger Signed-off-by: Eric W.
