perf tools: Ensure sscanf does not overrun the "mem" field

2014-01-20T19:19:08+00:00

Make the parsing robust. (perf has some other assumptions that BUFSIZE <= MAX_PATH which are not touched here) Reported-by: Jackie Chang Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Cc: Alan Cox Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-g2uoiwbrpiimb63rx32qv8ne@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Introduce evlist__for_each() & friends

2014-01-13T13:06:25+00:00

For the common evsel list traversal, so that it becomes more compact. Use the opportunity to start ditching the 'perf_' from 'perf_evlist__', as discussed, as the whole conversion touches a lot of places, lets do it piecemeal when we have the chance due to other work, like in this case.

perf tools: Use zfree to help detect use after free bugs

2013-12-27T20:08:19+00:00

Several areas already used this technique, so do some audit to consistently use it elsewhere.

perf tools: Introduce zfree

2013-12-27T18:17:00+00:00

For the frequent idiom of: free(ptr); ptr = NULL; Make it expect a pointer to the pointer being freed, so that it becomes clear at first sight that the variable being freed is being modified.

perf tools: No need to test against NULL before calling free()

2013-12-26T18:58:52+00:00

Its perfectly fine to call free(NULL), so no need to clutter the source code with all those superfluous testing.

perf header: Allow header->data_offset to be predetermined

2013-12-13T13:30:20+00:00

It will be necessary to predetermine header->data_offset to allow space for attributes that are added later. Consequently, do not change header->data_offset if it is non-zero.

perf symbols: Constify dso->long_name

2013-12-10T19:51:09+00:00

Same reason as for dso->short_name, it may point to a const string, and in most places it is treated as const, i.e. it is just accessed for using its contents as a key or to show it on reports.

perf tools: Add trace-event object

2013-12-04T18:20:52+00:00

Add trace-event object to keep together 'struct pevent' object with its loaded plugins with following interface: int trace_event__init(struct trace_event *t); - Initalizes 'struct pevent' object and loads plugins for it void trace_event__cleanup(struct trace_event *t); - Cleanups both 'struct pevent' and plugins Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1386076182-14484-10-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Use correct return type for readn function

2013-12-02T12:22:45+00:00

Changing readn function return type to ssize_t because read returns ssize_t not int. Changing callers holding variable types as well.

perf header: Fix possible memory leaks in process_group_desc()

2013-11-19T13:34:05+00:00

After processing all group descriptors or encountering an error, it frees all descriptors. However, current logic can leak memory since it might not traverse all descriptors. Note that the 'i' can have different value than nr_groups when an error occurred and it's safe to call free(desc[i].name) for every desc since we already make it NULL when it's reused for group names.
