[ Upstream commit 0a6564ebd953c4590663c9a3c99a3ea9920ade6f ]

In perf_data__open_dir(), opendir() opens the directory stream.  Add
missing closedir() to release it after use.

<title>perf data: Fix double free in perf_session__delete()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 69560e366fc4d5fca7bebb0e44edbfafc8bcaf05 upstream.

When perf_data__create_dir() fails, it calls close_dir(), but
perf_session__delete() also calls close_dir() and since dir.version and
dir.nr were initialized by perf_data__create_dir(), a double free occurs.

This patch moves the initialization of dir.version and dir.nr after
successful initialization of dir.files, that prevents double freeing.
This behavior is already implemented in perf_data__open_dir().

Fixes: 145520631130bd64 ("perf data: Add perf_data__(create_dir|close_dir) functions")

[ Upstream commit d4b3eedce151e63932ce4a00f1d0baa340a8b907 ]

When using 'perf report' in directory mode, the first file is not closed
on exit, causing a memory leak.

The problem is caused by the iterating variable never reaching 0.

[ Upstream commit f2211881e737cade55e0ee07cf6a26d91a35a6fe ]

Although 'ret' has been initialized to -1, but it will be reassigned by
the "ret = open(...)" statement in the for loop. So that, the value of
'ret' is unknown when asprintf() failed.

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using

In places where the equivalent was already being done, i.e.:

   free(a);
   a = NULL;

And in placs where struct members are being freed so that if we have
some erroneous reference to its struct, then accesses to freed members
will result in segfaults, which we can detect faster than use after free
to areas that may still have something seemingly valid.

When doing long term recording and waiting for some event to snapshot
on, we often only care about the last minute or so.

The --switch-output command line option supports rotating the perf.data
file when the size exceeds a threshold. But the disk would still be
filled with unnecessary old files.

Add a new option to only keep a number of rotated files, so that the
disk space usage can be limited.
