<id>urn:sha1:806731a9465b42aaf887cbaf8bfee7eccc9417de</id>
<content type='text'>
Many cases do not use the extra error information provided by
parse_events and instead pass NULL as the struct parse_events_error
pointer. Add a wrapper for those cases so that the pointer is never
NULL.

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a
suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions.

Committer notes:

Its '&amp;suite__vectors_page', not '&amp;suite__vectors_pages', noticed when
cross building to arm (32-bit).

<title>perf tests: Fix flaky test 'Object code reading'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0f892fd1bd29a25a62c236c5d4f942ee3295ef49</id>
<content type='text'>
This test occasionally fails on aarch64 when a sample is taken in
free@plt and it fails with "Bytes read differ from those read by
objdump".

This is because that symbol is near a section boundary in the elf file.
Despite the -z option to always output zeros, objdump uses
bfd_map_over_sections() to iterate through the elf file so it doesn't
see outside of the sections where these zeros are and can't print them.

For example this boundary proceeds free@plt in libc with a gap of 48
bytes between .plt and .text:

  objdump -d -z --start-address=0x23cc8 --stop-address=0x23d08 libc-2.30.so

  libc-2.30.so:     file format elf64-littleaarch64

  Disassembly of section .plt:

  0000000000023cc8 &lt;*ABS*+0x7fd00@plt+0x8&gt;:
     23cc8:	91018210 	add	x16, x16, #0x60
     23ccc:	d61f0220 	br	x17

  Disassembly of section .text:

  0000000000023d00 &lt;abort@@GLIBC_2.17-0x98&gt;:
     23d00:	a9bf7bfd 	stp	x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
     23d04:	910003fd 	mov	x29, sp

Taking a sample in free@plt is very rare because it is so small, but the
test can be forced to fail almost every time on any platform by linking
the test with a shared library that has a single empty function and
calling it in a loop.

The fix is to zero the buffers so that when there is a jump in the
addresses output by objdump, zeros are already filled in between.

<title>perf tools: Allow controlling synthesizing PERF_RECORD_ metadata events during record</title>

Depending on the use case, it might require some kind of synthesizing
and some not.  Make it controllable to turn off heavy operations like
MMAP for all tasks.

Currently all users are converted to enable all the synthesis by
default.  It'll be updated in the later patch.

The evlist and the cpu/thread maps should be released together.
Otherwise following error was reported by Asan.

Note that this test still has memory leaks in DSOs so it still fails
even after this change.  I'll take a look at that too.

Detect symbols generated by the OCaml compiler based on their prefix.

Demangle OCaml symbols, returning a newly allocated string (like the
existing Java demangling functionality).

Move a helper function (hex) from tests/code-reading.c to util/string.c

To test:

  echo 'Printf.printf "%d\n" (Random.int 42)' &gt; test.ml
  perf record ocamlopt.opt test.ml
  perf report -d ocamlopt.opt
