Subject: [PATCH 3/6] perf test: Fix test case Merge cpu map

From: Thomas Richter <tmricht@...ux.ibm.com>

Commit a2408a70368a ("perf evlist: Maintain evlist->all_cpus")
introduces a test case for cpumap merge operation, see functions
perf_cpu_map__merge() and test__cpu_map_merge().

The test case fails on s390 with this error message:

 [root@...lp76 perf]# ./perf test -Fvvvvv 52
 52: Merge cpu map                                         :
 --- start ---
 cpumask list: 1-2,4-5,7
 perf: /root/linux/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:131:\
          refcount_sub_and_test: Assertion `!(new > val)' failed.
 Aborted (core dumped)
 [root@...lp76 perf]#

The root cause is in the function test__cpu_map_merge():
It creates two cpu_maps named 'a' and 'b':

  struct perf_cpu_map *a = perf_cpu_map__new("4,2,1");
  struct perf_cpu_map *b = perf_cpu_map__new("4,5,7");

and creates a third map named 'c' which is the result of
the merge of maps a and b:

  struct perf_cpu_map *c = perf_cpu_map__merge(a, b);

After some verifaction of the merged cpu_map all three
of them are have their reference count reduced and are
freed:

   perf_cpu_map__put(a); (1)
   perf_cpu_map__put(b);
   perf_cpu_map__put(c);

The release of perf_cpu_map__put(a) is wrong. The map
is already released and free'ed as part of the function

  perf_cpu_map__merge(struct perf_cpu_map *orig,
  |	              struct perf_cpu_map *other)
  +--> perf_cpu_map__put(orig);
       |
       +--> cpu_map__delete(orig)

At the end perf_cpu_map_put() is called for map 'orig'
alias 'a' and since the reference count is 1, the map
is deleted, as can be seen by the following gdb trace:

 (gdb) where
 #0  tcache_put (tc_idx=0, chunk=0x156cc30) at malloc.c:2940
 #1  _int_free (av=0x3fffd49ee80 <main_arena>, p=0x156cc30,
		     have_lock=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:4222
 #2  0x00000000012d5e78 in cpu_map__delete (map=0x156cc40) at cpumap.c:31
 #3  0x00000000012d5f7a in perf_cpu_map__put (map=0x156cc40) at cpumap.c:45
 #4  0x00000000012d723a in perf_cpu_map__merge (orig=0x156cc40,
     other=0x156cc60) at cpumap.c:343
 #5  0x000000000110cdd0 in test__cpu_map_merge (
     test=0x14ea6c8 <generic_tests+2856>, subtest=-1) at tests/cpumap.c:128

Thus the perf_cpu_map__put(a) (see (1) above) frees map 'a'
a second time and causes the failure. Fix this be removing that
function call.

Output after:
  [root@...lp76 perf]# ./perf test -Fvvvvv 52
  52: Merge cpu map                                         :

  cpumask list: 1-2,4-5,7
  ---- end ----
  Merge cpu map: Ok
