Subject: [PATCH v1 00/16] Address some perf memory/data size issues
Try to reduce the data size of the perf command. Before these patches
a stripped non-debug binary was:
$ size -A perf
perf :

The binary has reduced in size by 298,574 bytes. The .bss, that
doesn't count toward file size, is reduced by 263,254 bytes. At
runtime this could reduce the footprint up to 561,828 bytes. This is
still just a fraction of the .rodata section's size of 7,048,746
bytes, that mainly contains the converted json events. The .rodata
section needn't all be mapped at the same time.
The changes are largely removing static variables and replacing them
with local or dynamically allocated memory. A common issue was having
paths in statics for the sake of returning a non-stack pointer to a
buffer, so the APIs were changed to pass buffers in.
Ian Rogers (16):
perf header: Make nodes dynamic in write_mem_topology
perf test x86: insn-x86 test data is immutable so mark it const
perf test x86: intel-pt-test data is immutable so mark it const
perf trace: Make some large static arrays const
perf trace beauty: Make MSR arrays const
tools api fs: Avoid large static PATH_MAX arrays
tools lib api fs tracing_path: Remove two unused MAX_PATH paths
perf daemon: Dynamically allocate path to perf
perf lock: Dynamically allocate lockhash_table
perf timechart: Make large arrays dynamic
perf probe: Dynamically allocate params memory
perf path: Make mkpath thread safe
perf scripting-engines: Move static to local variable
tools api fs: Dynamically allocate cgroupfs mount point cache
perf test pmu: Avoid 2 static path arrays
libsubcmd: Avoid two path statics
