[ Upstream commit 369e955b3d1c12f6ec2e51a95911bb80ada55d79 ]

Make sure to call btf__free() (and not simply free(), which does not
free all pointers stored in the struct) on pointers to struct btf
objects retrieved at various locations.

These were found while updating the calls to btf__get_from_id().

<title>perf pmu: Fix alias matching</title>

commit c07d5c9226980ca5ae21c6a2714baa95be2ce164 upstream.

Commit c47a5599eda324ba ("perf tools: Fix pattern matching for same
substring in different PMU type"), may have fixed some alias matching,
but has broken some others.

Firstly it cannot handle the simple scenario of PMU name in form
pmu_name{digits} - it can only handle pmu_name_{digits}.

Secondly it cannot handle more complex matching in the case where we
have multiple tokens. In this scenario, the code failed to realise that
we may examine multiple substrings in the PMU name.

Fix in two ways:

- Change perf_pmu__valid_suffix() to accept a PMU name without '_' in the
  suffix

- Only pay attention to perf_pmu__valid_suffix() for the final token

Also add const qualifiers as necessary to avoid casting.

<content type='text'>
commit 9bac1bd6e6d36459087a728a968e79e37ebcea1a upstream.

This makes 'perf top' abort in some cases, and the right fix will
involve surgery that is too much to do at this stage, so revert for now
and fix it in the next merge window.

This reverts commit 2d6b74baa7147251c30a46c4996e8cc224aa2dc5.

[ Upstream commit d4b3eedce151e63932ce4a00f1d0baa340a8b907 ]

When using 'perf report' in directory mode, the first file is not closed
on exit, causing a memory leak.

The problem is caused by the iterating variable never reaching 0.

ASan reports a memory leak when running:

  # perf test "65: maps__merge_in".

The causes of the leaks are two, this patch addresses only the first
one, which is related to dso__new_map().

The bug is that dso__new_map() creates a new dso but never decreases the
refcount it gets from creating it.

This patch adds the missing dso__put().
