refperf: Dynamically allocate thread-summary output buffer
Currently, the buffer used to accumulate the thread-summary output is fixed size, which will cause problems if someone decides to run on a large number of PCUs. This commit therefore dynamically allocates this buffer. [ paulmck: Fix memory allocation as suggested by KASAN. ] Cc: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
