From 29b4f5f188571c112713c35cc87eefb46efee612 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tommi Rantala Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 10:37:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf top: Fix stdio interface input handling with glibc 2.28+ Since glibc 2.28 when running 'perf top --stdio', input handling no longer works, but hitting any key always just prints the "Mapped keys" help text. To fix it, call clearerr() in the display_thread() loop to clear any EOF sticky errors, as instructed in the glibc NEWS file (https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=NEWS): * All stdio functions now treat end-of-file as a sticky condition. If you read from a file until EOF, and then the file is enlarged by another process, you must call clearerr or another function with the same effect (e.g. fseek, rewind) before you can read the additional data. This corrects a longstanding C99 conformance bug. It is most likely to affect programs that use stdio to read interactive input from a terminal. (Bug #1190.)
