Subject: [PATCHSET v2 00/11] perf tools: Fix various memory leaks

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@...nt\=0x80\,umask\=0x2@ / arb@...nt\=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,
		  nr,no-overwrite,overwrite,driver-config,percore,aux-output,aux-sample-size'


* Changes from v1:
 - Add 'Acked-by: Jiri'


The patches are also available at 'perf/metric-fix-v2' branch on
