In __cmd_top(), perf_set_multithreaded() is used to enable
pthread_rwlock, thus down_read() and down_write () are not nops,
handling concurrency problems
Then 'perf top' uses perf_set_singlethreaded(), switching to the single
threaded phase, assuming that no thread concurrency will happen later.
However, a use after free problem could occur in the single threaded
phase, the concurrent procedure is this:
display_thread process_thread
-------------- --------------
thread__comm_len
-> thread__comm_str
-> __thread__comm_str(thread)
thread__delete
-> comm__free
-> comm_str__put
-> zfree(&cs->str)
-> thread->comm_len = strlen(comm);
Since in single thread phase, perf_singlethreaded is true, down_read()
and down_write() do nothing to avoid concurrency problems.
This patch moves the perf_set_singlethreaded() call to the function tail
to expand the multithreaded phase range, making display_thread() and
process_thread() concurrency safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
