[PATCH v1 00/20] Reference count checking for thread

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Tue Jun 06 2023 - 21:44:41 EST


Add reference count checking to thread after first refactoring bits of
the code, such as making the thread red-black tree non-invasive (so
the thread it references is easier to reference count, rather than
having 3 potential references). Part of this refactoring also removes
the dead thread list because if we held a reference here the threads
would never die and anything else has questionable
correctness. addr_location is made into its own C/header file to
capture the init, exit and copy code.

Fix additional outstanding memory leak and reference count issues to
the point that "perf test" compiled with address sanitizer but without
libtraceevent passes all but one test - libtraceevent reports leaks
within its own code, most likely as it isn't compiled with
sanitizers. The remaining failing test is "68: Test dwarf unwind" and
that has address sanitizer issues as it uses memcpy to access the
stack within the process - we likely want to skip parts of the test
with sanitizers enabled.

Ian Rogers (20):
perf thread: Remove notion of dead threads
perf thread: Make threads rbtree non-invasive
perf thread: Add accessor functions for thread
perf maps: Make delete static, always use put
perf addr_location: Move to its own header

perf thread: Add reference count checking
perf machine: Make delete_threads part of machine__exit
perf report: Avoid thread leak
perf header: Ensure bitmaps are freed
perf stat: Avoid evlist leak
perf intel-pt: Fix missed put and leak
