perf record: Cache build-ID of hit DSOs only

2025-08-15T10:16:50Z

[ Upstream commit 6235ce77749f45cac27f630337e2fdf04e8a6c73 ] It post-processes samples to find which DSO has samples. Based on that info, it can save used DSOs in the build-ID cache directory. But for some reason, it saves all DSOs without checking the hit mark. Skipping unused DSOs can give some speedup especially with --buildid-mmap being default. On my idle machine, `time perf record -a sleep 1` goes down from 3 sec to 1.5 sec with this change.

perf hwmon_pmu: Avoid shortening hwmon PMU name

2025-08-15T10:16:45Z

[ Upstream commit 28f5aa8184c9c9b8eab35fa3884c416fe75e88e4 ] Long names like ucsi_source_psy_USBC000:001 when prefixed with hwmon_ exceed the buffer size and the last digit is lost. This causes confusion with similar names like ucsi_source_psy_USBC000:002. Extend the buffer size to avoid this.

perf sched: Fix memory leaks in 'perf sched latency'

[ Upstream commit e68b1c0098b959cb88afce5c93dd6a9324e6da78 ] The work_atoms should be freed after use. Add free_work_atoms() to make sure to release all. It should use list_splice_init() when merging atoms to prevent accessing invalid pointers.

[ Upstream commit 117e5c33b1c44037af016d77ce6c0b086d55535f ] It uses evsel->priv to save per-cpu timing information. It should be freed when the evsel is released.

perf sched: Free thread->priv using priv_destructor

2025-08-15T10:16:42Z

[ Upstream commit aa9fdd106bab8c478d37eba5703c0950ad5c0d4f ] In many perf sched subcommand saves priv data structure in the thread but it forgot to free them. As it's an opaque type with 'void *', it needs to register that knows how to free the data. In this case, just regular 'free()' is fine.
