Results from Linaro’s test farm. No regressions on arm64, arm, x86_64, and i386.
No perf build failure ? I just tried again, with a simple
make defconfig make tools/perf
on my test system, and it fails to build reliably with
util/evsel.c: In function ‘perf_evsel__exit’: util/util.h:25:28: error: passing argument 1 of ‘free’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type
as reported. The culprit is commit d22b67e7dae9 ("perf parse-events: Fix 3 use after frees found with clang ASAN"). That is not a problem upstream because of commit 7f7c536f23e6af ("tools lib: Adopt zalloc()/zfree() from tools/perf"), but that is just hiding a problem with commit d22b67e7dae9 (which assigns a pointer allocated with strdup() to a const * and then frees that const *).
Anyway, how comes that only I seem to see that problem ?
