Subject: Fix: perform TLS fixup of nest count outside of UST mutex
X-Git-Tag: v2.1.0-rc1~59
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a903623f391894ed136effbed7ae744fe9d66820;p=lttng-ust.git

Fix: perform TLS fixup of nest count outside of UST mutex

Could otherwise lead to a deadlock between the dynamic linker, TLS
fixup, and the UST mutex due to reversed lock acquisition order.
