2013-12-27perf tools: Use zfree to help detect use after free bugsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Several areas already used this technique, so do some audit to consistently use it elsewhere.

2013-12-27perf tools: Introduce zfreeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

2012-09-07perf tools: fix missing winsize definitionIrina Tirdea
In Android, struct winsize is not defined in the headers already included in help.c. This leads to a compile error. Including termios.h fixes the compilation error since it defines struct winsize.

2010-05-18perf tools: Remove some unused functionsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Without the bloated cplus_demangle from binutils, i.e building with: $ make NO_DEMANGLE=1 O=~acme/git/build/perf -j3 -C tools/perf/ install Before: text data bss dec hex filename 471851 29280 4025056 4526187 45106b /home/acme/bin/perf After: [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ size ~/bin/perf text data bss dec hex filename 446886 29232 4008576 4484694 446e56 /home/acme/bin/perf So its a 5.3% size reduction in code, but the interesting part is in the git diff --stat output: 19 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1909 deletions(-) If we ever need some of the things we got from git but weren't using, we just have to go to the git repo and get fresh, uptodate source code bits.

2009-07-01perf_counter tools: Add more warnings and fix/annotate themIngo Molnar
Enable -Wextra. This found a few real bugs plus a number of signed/unsigned type mismatches/uncleanlinesses. It also required a few annotations All things considered it was still worth it so lets try with this enabled for now.

2009-06-27perf_counter tools: Remove dead codeIngo Molnar
Vince Weaver reported that there's a handful of #ifdef __MINGW32__ sections in the code. Remove them as they are in essence dead code - as unlike upstream Git, the perf tool is unlikely to be ported to Windows.

2009-06-06perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/Ingo Molnar
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory.
