From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue Jun 23 2026 - 15:15:22 EST
Hello,
Ian said there's an issue in the perf kvm record command line option parsing.
This is my attempt to address the issue, simplify the code and fix memory leaks.
v2 changes)
* handle kvm top subcommand (Sashiko)
* handle other arch/condition for the default events (Sashiko)
* add <stdlib.h> for musl compatibility (Sashiko)
* fix some memory leaks
Thanks,
Namhyung
