perf parse: Copy string to perf_evsel_config_term
perf with CoreSight fails to record trace data with command: perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ls failed to set sink "" on event cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u with 21 (Is a directory)/perf/ This failure is root caused with the commit 1dc925568f01 ("perf parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms"). The log shows, cs_etm fails to parse the sink attribution; cs_etm event relies on the event configuration to pass sink name, but the event specific configuration data cannot be passed properly with flow: get_config_terms() ADD_CONFIG_TERM(DRV_CFG, term->val.str); __t->val.str = term->val.str; `> __t->val.str is assigned to term->val.str; parse_events_terms__purge() parse_events_term__delete() zfree(&term->val.str); `> term->val.str is freed and assigned to NULL pointer; cs_etm_set_sink_attr() sink = __t->val.str; `> sink string has been freed. To fix this issue, in the function get_config_terms(), this patch changes to use strdup() for allocation a new duplicate string rather than directly assignment string pointer. This patch addes a new field 'free_str' in the data structure perf_evsel_config_term; 'free_str' is set to true when the union is used as a string pointer; thus it can tell perf_evsel__free_config_terms() to free the string.
