I would not expect a function which does a "find" to duplicate the name.

Same goes for all the other places which does similar.


Yes, you are right. Jiri has the similar comment for the name duplicating here. We will still keep the 'pmu->name = strdup(name);' in pmu_lookup() in v5.

That's not finding anything.


Will just return name in non-x86 implementation.

I don't understand this. There are lots of places this function can fail , but we don't free memories allocated previously - why just free this one?


That's because it's only introduced by my patch (duplicating name). :)

But if we keep 'pmu->name = strdup(name)' in pmu_lookup(), I'm OK to keep original code/behavior.

I'd be inclined to use {} for the list_for_each_entry() call


OK, I will add {}, thanks!
