Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/amd/uncore: turn amd_uncore_ctx events into a flexible array
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 18:19:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260523011904.101720-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

The events pointer was kzalloc_node()'d immediately after the parent
struct allocation, with the count (pmu->num_counters) trivially
available beforehand.  Move events to the struct tail as a flexible
array member and fold the two allocations into a single kzalloc_node()
with struct_size(), dropping the separate kfree(ctx->events) in the
free path.
