[PATCHSET 0/8] perf sched: Fix various memory leaks

[PATCHSET 0/8] perf sched: Fix various memory leaks

[Namhyung Kim]

Hello,

While running the new perf sched test with ASAN, it fails due to
memory leaks.  They comes mostly from missing thread__put() but
sometimes it needs to release other data structures.

Fix those leaks and add more subcommands to the test.

Thanks,
Namhyung

[PATCH 1/8] perf sched: Make sure it frees the usage string

[Namhyung Kim]

The parse_options_subcommand() allocates the usage string based on the
given subcommands.  So it should reach the end of the function to free
the string to prevent memory leaks.

[PATCH 2/8] perf sched: Free thread->priv using priv_destructor

[Namhyung Kim]

In many perf sched subcommand saves priv data structure in the thread
but it forgot to free them.  As it's an opaque type with 'void *', it
needs to register that knows how to free the data.  In this case, just
regular 'free()' is fine.

[PATCH 4/8] perf sched: Fix thread leaks in 'perf sched timehist'

[Namhyung Kim]

Add missing thread__put() after machine__findnew_thread() or
timehist_get_thread().  Also idle threads' last_thread should be
refcounted properly.

[PATCH 5/8] perf sched: Fix memory leaks for evsel->priv in timehist

[Namhyung Kim]

It uses evsel->priv to save per-cpu timing information.  It should be
freed when the evsel is released.

Add the priv destructor for evsel same as thread to handle that.

[PATCH 6/8] perf sched: Use RC_CHK_EQUAL() to compare pointers

[Namhyung Kim]

So that it can check two pointers to the same object properly when
REFCNT_CHECKING is on.

[PATCH 7/8] perf sched: Fix memory leaks in 'perf sched latency'

[Namhyung Kim]

The work_atoms should be freed after use.  Add free_work_atoms() to
make sure to release all.  It should use list_splice_init() when merging
atoms to prevent accessing invalid pointers.
