perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14Z

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named libsubcmd.a. Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to 'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf tools: Finalize subcmd independence

2015-12-17T17:27:10Z

For the files that will be moved to the subcmd library, remove all their perf-specific includes and duplicate any needed functionality.

perf tools: Remove 'perf' from subcmd function and variable names

2015-12-17T00:34:28Z

In preparation for moving exec_cmd.c and run-command.c out of perf and into a library, remove 'perf' from all the symbol names.

perf tools: Remove subcmd dependencies on strbuf

2015-12-17T00:33:13Z

Introduce and use new astrcat() and astrcatf() functions which replace the strbuf functionality for subcmd. For now they duplicate strbuf's die-on-allocation-error policy.

perf tools: Move help_unknown_cmd() to its own file

2015-12-14T15:30:37Z

help_unknown_cmd() is quite perf-specific because it relies on some perf_config*() functions. Move it and its supporting functions out into a separate file so that help.c can be moved to a library.

perf tools: Make perf_exec_path() always return malloc'd string

2015-11-19T16:19:19Z

Since system_path() returns malloc'd string if given path is not an absolute path, perf_exec_path() sometimes returns a static string and sometimes returns a malloc'd string depending on the environment variables or command options. This may cause a memory leak because the caller can not unconditionally free the returned string. This fixes perf_exec_path() and system_path() to always return a malloc'd string, so the caller can always free it.

perf tools: Use zfree to help detect use after free bugs

2013-12-27T20:08:19Z

Several areas already used this technique, so do some audit to consistently use it elsewhere.

perf tools: Introduce zfree

2013-12-27T18:17:00Z

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.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15Z

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.
