From b01c1f69c8660eaeab7d365cd570103c5c073a02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2018 18:00:01 +0100 Subject: perf tools: Restore proper cwd on return from mnt namespace When reporting on 'record' server we try to retrieve/use the mnt namespace of the profiled tasks. We use following API with cookie to hold the return namespace, roughly: nsinfo__mountns_enter(struct nsinfo *nsi, struct nscookie *nc) setns(newns, 0); ... new ns related open.. ... nsinfo__mountns_exit(struct nscookie *nc) setns(nc->oldns) Once finished we setns to old namespace, which also sets the current working directory (cwd) to "/", trashing the cwd we had. This is mostly fine, because we use absolute paths almost everywhere, but it screws up 'perf diff': # perf diff failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) ... Adding the current working directory to be part of the cookie and restoring it in the nsinfo__mountns_exit call.
