Hello,
I've found and fixed a bunch of memory leaks during perf pmu and
metric tests with address sanitizer. Before this, the tests were
mostly failed due to the leaks since ASAN makes it return non-zero.
Now I'm seeing no error with ASAN like below:
$ ./perf test pmu metric
9: Parse perf pmu format : Ok
10: PMU events :
10.1: PMU event table sanity : Ok
10.2: PMU event map aliases : Ok
10.3: Parsing of PMU event table metrics : Skip (some
metrics failed)
10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs : Ok
67: Parse and process metrics : Ok
The failure in 10.3 seems due to parse errors like below:
Multiple errors dropping message: unknown term 'filter_opc' for pmu
'uncore_cbox_0'
(valid terms:
event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,
branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size,no-inherit,inherit,max-stack,
nr,no-overwrite,overwrite,driver-config,percore,aux-output,aux-sample-size)
Parse event failed metric 'DRAM_Parallel_Reads' id
'arb/event=0x80,umask=0x2,thresh=1/'
expr 'arb@event\=0x80\,umask\=0x2@ /
arb@event\=0x80\,umask\=0x2\,thresh\=1@'
Error string 'unknown term 'thresh' for pmu 'uncore_arb'' help
'valid terms:
event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,
branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size,no-inherit,inherit,max-stack,

The patches are also available at 'perf/metric-fix-v1' branch on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git
