[RFC][PATCH v4 0/6] perf config: Reimplement perf_config() using perf_config_set__inter()

[RFC][PATCH v4 0/6] perf config: Reimplement perf_config() using perf_config_set__inter()

[Taeung Song]

Everytime perf_config() is called, perf_config() always read config files.
(i.e. user config '~/.perfconfig' and system config '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig')

But we need to use 'struct perf_config_set config_set' variable
that already contains all config key-value pairs
to avoid this repetitive work in perf_config().

In other words, if new perf_config() is called,
only first time 'config_set' is initialized
collecting all configs from config files and it work with perf_config_set__iter().

If we do, 'config_set' can be reused wherever using perf_config()
and a feature of old perf_config() is the same as new perf_config()
work without the repetitive work that read the config files.

IMHO, I think this patchset is needed because not only the repetitive work
should be avoided but also in near future, it would be smooth to manage perf configs.

Most important patch of this patchset is "[PATCH v4 4/6] perf config: Reimplement
perf_config() using perf_config_set__iter()" and PATCH 1/6 ~ 3/6 are preparation for it.

If you give me any feedback, I'd apprecicated it. :)

Thanks,
Taeung

v4:
- Keep perf_config_set__delete() as it is (Arnaldo)
- Remove perf_config_set__check() (Arnaldo)
- Keep the existing code about the config set at cmd_config() (Arnaldo)

v3:
- add freeing config set after sub-command work at run_builtin() (Namhyung)
- remove needless code about the config set at cmd_config()
- add a patch about a global variable 'config_set'

v2:
- split a patch into several patches
- reimplement show_config() using new perf_config()
- modify perf_config_set__delete using global variable 'config_set'
- reset config set when only 'config' sub-commaned work
  because of options for config file location

  perf config: Use new perf_config_set__init() to initialize config set

[PATCH v4 1/6] perf config: Use new perf_config_set__init() to initialize config set

[Taeung Song]

Instead of perf_config(), This function initialize config set
collecting all configs from config files (i.e. user config
~/.perfconfig and system config $(sysconfdir)/perfconfig).

If there are the same config variable both user and system
config file, user config has higher priority than system config.

[PATCH v4 2/6] perf config: Add global variable 'config_set'

[Taeung Song]

The config set is prepared by collecting
all configs from config files (i.e. user config
~/.perfconfig and system config $(sysconfdir)/perfconfig)
so the config set contains all config key-value pairs.

We need to use it as global variable to share it.
And in near future, the variable will be handled in perf_config()
and other functions at util/config.c

[PATCH v4 3/6] perf config: Use zfree() instead of free() at perf_config_set__delete()

[Taeung Song]

perf_config_set__delete() delete allocated the config set
but the global variable 'config_set' is used all around.

So purge and zfree by an address of the global variable
, i.e. 'struct perf_config_set **' type
instead of using local variable 'set' of which type
is 'struct perf_config_set *'.

[PATCH v4 5/6] perf config: Reset the config set at only 'config' sub-command

[Taeung Song]

When first calling perf_config(), the config set is
initialized collecting both user and system config files
(i.e. user config ~/.perfconfig and system config
$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig) so config set contains
not only user config but also system config key-value pairs.
(User config has higher priority than system config.)

But 'config' sub-command individually use the config set
so free the existing config set (i.e. a global variable config_set)
before reinstantiating it.

And 'config' sub-command have '--user' or '--system' options.
To reinitialize with the options, the config set should be reset
at the very beginning at cmd_config()

[PATCH v4 6/6] perf config: Reimplement show_config() using perf_config()

[Taeung Song]

Old show_config() directly use config set so
there are many duplicated code with perf_config_set__iter().

So reimplement show_config() using perf_config() that use
perf_config_set__iter() with config set that already
contains all configs.

So, the usual pattern is: alloc, init, fail? free, return NULL.

I thought you could've been deviating from that pattern and went to look
at perf_config_set__init() to see if that was doing the freeing in case
of failure, which it shouldn't, it isn't, so I guess this is a leak on
failure, no?

You are right. And I found additional problems.

First of all, as you said, if it is failed in perf_config_set__init(),
the config set wouldn't be freed so this is a leak on failure.

Secondly, if it is failed in perf_parse_file(),
perf_parse_file() cannot return because of die()
so perf_config_from_file() and perf_config()
don't also return. I guess this is abnormal termination
without the freeing.
(The important point of this problem is die() at perf_parse_file())

Thirdly, there are problems that are related to collect_config().
If perf_config_from_file(collect_config,..) is failed
the config set will be freed at collect_config() like below.

static int collect_config(const char *var, const char *value,
			  void *perf_config_set)
{

...

out_free:
	free(key);
	perf_config_set__delete(set);
	return -1;
}

And then if calling perf_config_from_file(collect_config,..)
at perf_config_set__init() again,
an error will happen because the config set is NULL at collect_config().
(the error mean NULL pointer exception.)


To conclude,
First of all, I'll send preparatory PATCH set for this patch
to solve the problems i.e.

     1) A problem that perf_config() can't return
        becuase of die() at perf_parse_file()

     2) A problem about the freeing config set at collect_config()

     3) NULL pointer exception at collect_config()

And then I will send changed this patch following above patchset.
(to solve a leak when perf_config_set__init() failed)


Thanks,
Taeung

Hi, Arnaldo :)
Did you have a nice weekend?

I sent this mail for nothing else but to tell the reason of v6 to you.

I can modify the problem of the leak you said by simple handling
a case of failure at perf_config_set__init().
But I found preexisting small problems so I sent v6 with the three 
[BUGFIX] patches !!

If you can't agree this way to solve the leak,
I'd find other way. :)
