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

2013-12-27T20:08:19+00:00

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

perf tools: Introduce zfree

2013-12-27T18:17:00+00:00

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 annotate: Make symbol__inc_addr_samples private

2013-12-19T14:34:33+00:00

Since it is now accessed just thru addr_map_symbol and hist_entry
wrappers.

perf annotate: Adopt methods from hists

2013-12-19T14:34:27+00:00

Those are just wrappers to annotation methods, so move them to
annotate.c

perf annotate: Add inc_samples method to addr_map_symbol

2013-12-19T14:34:19+00:00

Since there are three calls that could receive just the struct
addr_map_symbol pointer and call the symbol method.

2013-12-19T14:33:51+00:00

Instead of open coding it in multiple places in 'report' and 'top'.

perf symbols: Constify dso->long_name

2013-12-10T19:51:09+00:00

Same reason as for dso->short_name, it may point to a const string, and
in most places it is treated as const, i.e. it is just accessed for
using its contents as a key or to show it on reports.

perf annotate: Find kcore symbols on other maps

2013-10-14T13:29:20+00:00

Use the new map_groups__find_ams() method to find kcore symbols on other
maps.

perf symbols: Workaround objdump difficulties with kcore

2013-10-14T13:29:00+00:00

The objdump tool fails to annotate module symbols when looking at kcore.

Workaround this by extracting object code from kcore and putting it in a
temporary file for objdump to use instead.

The temporary file is created to look like kcore but contains only the
function being disassembled.
