perf top: Fix TUI exit screen refresh race condition
When the following command is executed several times, a coredump file is generated. $ timeout -k 9 5 perf top -e task-clock ******* ******* ******* 0.01% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq 0.01% libpthread-2.28.so [.] __pthread_mutex_lock 0.01% [kernel] [k] __ll_sc_atomic64_sub_return double free or corruption (!prev) perf top --sort comm,dso timeout: the monitored command dumped core When we terminate "perf top" using sending signal method, SLsmg_reset_smg() called. SLsmg_reset_smg() resets the SLsmg screen management routines by freeing all memory allocated while it was active. However SLsmg_reinit_smg() maybe be called by another thread. SLsmg_reinit_smg() will free the same memory accessed by SLsmg_reset_smg(), thus it results in a double free. SLsmg_reinit_smg() is called already protected by ui__lock, so we fix the problem by adding pthread_mutex_trylock of ui__lock when calling SLsmg_reset_smg().
