[PATCH 3/3] perf, stat: Fix free memory access / memory leaks in metrics

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Sep 23 2019 - 19:33:55 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Make sure to not free the name passed in by the caller, but free
all the allocated ids when parsing expressions.

The loop at the end knows that the first entry shouldn't be freed,
so make sure the caller name is the first entry.

Fixes

% perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2
