Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y v2 09/18] perf strlist: Don't write to const memory
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 12:40:42 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511071051.537859-10-yesshedi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511071051.537859-1-yesshedi@gmail.com>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
commit 678ed6b707e4b2db250f255d2f959322896dae65 upstream
Do a strdup to the list string and parse from it, free at the end.
This is to deal with newer glibcs const-correctness.
