Fix __machine__addnew_vdso to put dso after add to dsos because the dso is already gotten by the dsos via __dsos__add().
This function is called finally from machine__findnew_vdso() which locks machine->dsos.lock. And before unlock it, the function gets the dso's refcnt. Thus we can ensure that the dso is not removed from the machine while this operation, and we don't need to get the dso except for the machine->dsos. refcnt debugger shows: ----- $ ./perf top --stdio -v (note: run by non-root user) [...] ==== [3] ==== Unreclaimed dso@0x27a0a30 Refcount +1 => 1 at ./perf(dso__new+0x2bc) [0x4a778c] ./perf(machine__findnew_vdso+0x272) [0x4e8792] ./perf(map__new+0x2db) [0x4bfb4b] ./perf(machine__process_mmap2_event+0xf3) [0x4bda33] ./perf(perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events+0x364) [0x484e74] ./perf(perf_event__synthesize_threads+0x3ee) [0x48583e] ./perf(cmd_top+0xdc2) [0x43cfb2] ./perf() [0x47ba35] ./perf(main+0x617) [0x4225b7] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f2b01387af5] ./perf() [0x42272d] Refcount +1 => 2 at ./perf(machine__findnew_vdso+0x289) [0x4e87a9] ./perf(map__new+0x2db) [0x4bfb4b] ./perf(machine__process_mmap2_event+0xf3) [0x4bda33] ./perf(perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events+0x364) [0x484e74] ./perf(perf_event__synthesize_threads+0x3ee) [0x48583e] ./perf(cmd_top+0xdc2) [0x43cfb2] ./perf() [0x47ba35] ./perf(main+0x617) [0x4225b7] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f2b01387af5] ./perf() [0x42272d] Refcount +1 => 3 at ./perf(dso__get+0x32) [0x4a7b52] ./perf(machine__findnew_vdso+0xc1) [0x4e85e1] ./perf(map__new+0x2db) [0x4bfb4b] ./perf(machine__process_mmap2_event+0xf3) [0x4bda33] ./perf(perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events+0x364) [0x484e74] ./perf(perf_event__synthesize_threads+0x3ee) [0x48583e] ./perf(cmd_top+0xdc2) [0x43cfb2] ./perf() [0x47ba35] ./perf(main+0x617) [0x4225b7] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f2b01387af5] ./perf() [0x42272d] [...] ----- The log shows that the machine__findnew_vdso gets a dso so many unnaturally.
