The memory for global pointer is never freed during normal program
execution, so let's do that in the main function exit as a good
programming practice.

A stray blank line is also removed.

<title>perf bench futex-wake: Restore thread count default to online CPU count</title>

<id>f649bd9dd5d5004543bbc3c50b829577b49f5d75</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 3b2323c2c1c4 ("perf bench futex: Use cpumaps") the default
number of threads the benchmark uses got changed from number of online
CPUs to zero:

  $ perf bench futex wake
  # Running 'futex/wake' benchmark:
  Run summary [PID 15930]: blocking on 0 threads (at [private] futex 0x558b8ee4bfac), waking up 1 at a time.
  [Run 1]: Wokeup 0 of 0 threads in 0.0000 ms
  [...]
  [Run 10]: Wokeup 0 of 0 threads in 0.0000 ms
  Wokeup 0 of 0 threads in 0.0004 ms (+-40.82%)

Restore the old behavior by grabbing the number of online CPUs via
cpu-&gt;nr:

  $ perf bench futex wake
  # Running 'futex/wake' benchmark:
  Run summary [PID 18356]: blocking on 8 threads (at [private] futex 0xb3e62c), waking up 1 at a time.
  [Run 1]: Wokeup 8 of 8 threads in 0.0260 ms
  [...]
  [Run 10]: Wokeup 8 of 8 threads in 0.0270 ms
  Wokeup 8 of 8 threads in 0.0419 ms (+-24.35%)

<title>perf top: Fix stdio interface input handling with glibc 2.28+</title>
<updated>2020-03-06T11:30:47+00:00</updated>

<id>29b4f5f188571c112713c35cc87eefb46efee612</id>
<content type='text'>
Since glibc 2.28 when running 'perf top --stdio', input handling no
longer works, but hitting any key always just prints the "Mapped keys"
help text.

To fix it, call clearerr() in the display_thread() loop to clear any EOF
sticky errors, as instructed in the glibc NEWS file
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=NEWS):

 * All stdio functions now treat end-of-file as a sticky condition.  If you
   read from a file until EOF, and then the file is enlarged by another
   process, you must call clearerr or another function with the same effect
   (e.g. fseek, rewind) before you can read the additional data.  This
   corrects a longstanding C99 conformance bug.  It is most likely to affect
   programs that use stdio to read interactive input from a terminal.
   (Bug #1190.)

Reviewer Notes:

Looks good to me. Some more context:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wstring-compare
The spec says:
J.1 Unspecified behavior
The following are unspecified:
.. Whether two string literals result in distinct arrays (6.4.5).

Reviewer Notes:

Looks good to me. Some more context:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wstring-compare
The spec says:
J.1 Unspecified behavior
The following are unspecified:
.. Whether two string literals result in distinct arrays (6.4.5).

The dso-&gt;kernel value is now set to everything that is in
machine-&gt;kmaps, but that was being used to decide if vmlinux lookup is
needed, which ended up making that lookup be made for kernel modules,
that now have dso-&gt;kernel set, leading to these kinds of warnings when
running on a machine with compressed kernel modules, like fedora:31:

  [root@five ~]# perf record -F 10000 -a sleep 2

<title>perf bench: Share some global variables to fix build with gcc 10</title>

Noticed with gcc 10 (fedora rawhide) that those variables were not being
declared as static, so end up with:

  ld: /tmp/build/perf/bench/epoll-wait.o:/git/perf/tools/perf/bench/epoll-wait.c:93: multiple definition of `end'; /tmp/build/perf/bench/futex-hash.o:/git/perf/tools/perf/bench/futex-hash.c:40: first defined here

  make[4]: *** [/git/perf/tools/build/Makefile.build:145: /tmp/build/perf/bench/perf-in.o] Error 1

Prefix those with bench__ and add them to bench/bench.h, so that we can
share those on the tools needing to access those variables from signal
handlers.

It is possible to return a pointer to a local variable when looking up
the architecture name for the running system and no normalization is
done on that value, i.e. we may end up returning the uts.machine local
variable.

While this doesn't happen on most arches, as normalization takes place,
lets fix this by making that a static variable and optimize it a bit by
not always running uname(), only the first time.

Noticed in fedora rawhide running with:

  [perfbuilder@a5ff49d6e6e4 ~]$ gcc --version
  gcc (GCC) 10.0.1 20200216 (Red Hat 10.0.1-0.8)
