Subject: [PATCH v3 00/12] perf annotate arch clean up
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 13:35:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122213516.671089-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

3 initial memory leak fix patches for perf annotate.

Move the disasm.c #included arch files into a new util/annotate-arch
directory. Make the code compile standalone. Try to better encapsulate
architecture specific code within the files and with a
arch__new_<arch> function that allows additional data to be associated
with the struct arch using the standard container_of trick.

Make the lookup of struct arch use the ELF machine gather from a
thread rather than an evsel. For example, the evsel can't determine
the difference between EM_386 and EM_X86_64 so generally the latter
has currently been used. This means the dwarf registers are off as
register 1 is CX with EM_386 and DX with EM_X86_64. To facilitate this
change map_symbol is refactored to use a struct thread rather than a
struct maps, the maps being obtainable from the thread.

To make in and out arguments clearer, for safety, etc. try to constify
struct arch and its related structs.

v3: Fix arch initialization on arm, arm64, powerpc and sparc as spotted by Suchit
    Karunakaranw.

v2: Add a patch to fix a domain info memory leak that was blocking
    leak sanitizer analysis. Fix more map_symbol leaks or uses after
    reference count put (Suchit Karunakaranw
    <suchitkarunakaran@gmail.com>).  Try to repro annotate test crash
    (James Clark) but suspect it was addressed in the other reference
    count fixes.
