systemd-bootchart: Prevent closing random file descriptors
If the kernel has no CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG option set, systemd-bootchart produces empty .svg file. The reason for this is very fragile file descriptor logic in log_sample() and main() (/* do some cleanup, close fd's */ block). There are many places where file descriptors are closed on failure (missing SCHED_DEBUG provokes it), but there are several problems with it: - following iterations in the loop see that the descriptor is non zero and do not open the corresponding file again; - "some cleanup" code closes already closed files and the descriptors are reused already, in particular for resulting .svg file; - static "vmstat" and "schedstat" variables in log_sample() made the situation even worse. These are the strace fragments: [...] close(7) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) pread(7, 0xbea60a2c, 4095, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(7) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) pread(7, 0xbea60a2c, 4095, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(7) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) getdents64(4, /* 0 entries */, 32768) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {24, 783843501}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 5221792}, NULL) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {24, 789726835}) = 0 lseek(4, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 pread(5, "nr_free_pages 52309\nnr_alloc_bat"..., 4095, 0) = 685 pread(6, "version 15\ntimestamp 4294939775\n"..., 4095, 0) = 86 getdents64(4, /* 99 entries */, 32768) = 2680 pread(7, 0xbea60a2c, 4095, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(7) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) pread(8, 0xbea60a2c, 4095, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(8) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) pread(9, 0xbea60a2c, 4095, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) close(9) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) [...] where it obviously tries to close same and reused decriptors many times, also passing return code "-1" instead of descriptor...
