We should always return from thread__new(), the constructor, with the
object with a reference count of one, so that:

     struct thread *thread = thread__new();
     thread__put(thread);

Will call thread__delete().

If any reference is made to that 'thread' variable, it better use
thread__get(thread) to hold a reference.

We were returning with thread-&gt;refcnt set to zero, fix it and some cases
where thread__delete() was being called, which were not a problem
because just one reference was being used, now that we set it to 1, use
thread__put() instead.

There are so many test cases use stack allocated 'struct machine'.
Including:
  test__hists_link
  test__hists_filter
  test__mmap_thread_lookup
  test__thread_mg_share
  test__hists_output
  test__hists_cumulate

Also, in non-test code (for example, machine__new_host()) there are
code use 'malloc()' to alloc struct machine.

These are dangerous operations, cause some tests fail or hung in
machines__exit(). For example, in

 machines__exit -&gt;
   machine__destroy_kernel_maps -&gt;
     map_groups__remove -&gt;
       maps__remove -&gt;
         pthread_rwlock_wrlock

a incorrectly initialized lock causes unintended behavior.

This patch memset(0) that structure in machine__init() to ensure all
fields in 'struct machine' are initialized to zero.

Fix machine.vmlinux_maps to make sure to clear the old one if it is
renewal. This can leak the previous maps on the vmlinux_maps because
those are just overwritten.

<content type='text'>
There's a mistake in dso__adjust_kmod_long_name() that it use strdup()
to dup the new long_name of a dso, but passes the original string to
dso__set_long_name(). Which causes random crash during cleanup.

Something unexpected may happen if copy statically linked perf to a
production environment:

  # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
  [mymodule] with build id 326ab42550ef3d24944f53c817533728367effeb not found, continuing without symbols
  Failed to find symbol my_func in /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko
    Error: Failed to add events.
  # ./perf buildid-cache -a ./mymodule.ko
  # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
  Added new event:
    probe:my_func        (on my_func in /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:my_func -aR sleep 1

Where:

  # ldd ./perf
 	not a dynamic executable
  # strace -e open ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
  ...
  open("/home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  open("/home/wangnan/kmodule/../lib64/elfutils/libebl_x86_64.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  ...
  open("/lib64/tls/libebl_x86_64.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("/lib64/libebl_x86_64.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("/usr/lib64/tls/libebl_x86_64.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("/usr/lib64/libebl_x86_64.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("[mymodule]", O_RDONLY)            = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("/home/wangnan/.debug/.build-id/32/6ab42550ef3d24944f53c817533728367effeb", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("[mymodule]", O_RDONLY)            = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

In the above example, probe fails before we put the module into
buildid-cache. However, user would expect it success in both case
because perf is able to find probe points actually.

The reason is because perf won't utilize module's full path if it failed
to open debuginfo. In:

     convert_to_probe_trace_events -&gt;
        find_probe_trace_events_from_map -&gt;
            get_target_map -&gt;
                kernel_get_module_map -&gt;
                    machine__findnew_module_map -&gt;
                        map_groups__find_by_name

map_groups__find_by_name() is able to find the map of that module, but
this information is found from /proc/module before it knows the real
path of the offline module. Therefore, the map-&gt;dso-&gt;long_name is set to
something like '[mymodule]', which prevent dso__load() find the real
path of the module file.

In another aspect, if dso__load() can get the offline module through
buildid cache, it can read symble table from that ko. Even if debuginfo
is not available, 'perf probe' can success if the '.symtab' can be
found.

This patch improves machine__findnew_module_map(): when dso-&gt;long_name
is leading with '[' (doesn't find path of module when parsing
/proc/modules), fixes it by dso__set_long_name(), so following
dso__load() is possible to find the symbol table.

This patch won't interfere with buildid matching. Here is the test
result:

  # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
  Added new event:
    probe:my_func        (on my_func in /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:my_func -aR sleep 1

  # ./perf probe -d '*'
  Removed event: probe:my_func
  # mv ./mymodule.{ko,.bak}
  # mv ./moduleb.ko mymodule.ko
  # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func
  /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko with build id 326ab42550ef3d24944f53c817533728367effeb not found, continuing without symbols

Fix machine__findnew_module_map to drop the reference to the dso because
it is already referenced by both machine__findnew_module_dso() and
map__new2().

Refcnt debugger shows:

  ==== [1] ====
  Unreclaimed dso: 0x1ffd980
  Refcount +1 =&gt; 1 at
    ./perf(dso__new+0x1ff) [0x4a62df]

    /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f1345a8eaf5]
    ./perf() [0x4220a9]

This map_groups__insert(0x4b8b91) already gets a reference to the new
dso:

  ----
  eu-addr2line -e ./perf -f 0x4b8b91
  map_groups__insert inlined at util/machine.c:586 in
  machine__create_module
  util/map.h:207
  ----

So this dso refcnt will be released when map_groups gets released.

  [snip]
  Refcount +1 =&gt; 2 at
    ./perf(dso__get+0x34) [0x4a65f4]
    ./perf() [0x4b8b35]

    /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f1345a8eaf5]
    ./perf() [0x4220a9]

Here, machine__findnew_module_dso(0x4b8b35) gets the dso (and stores it
in a local variable):

  ----
  # eu-addr2line -e ./perf -f 0x4b8b35
  machine__findnew_module_dso inlined at util/machine.c:578 in
  machine__create_module

    ./perf(dso__get+0x34) [0x4a65f4]
    ./perf(map__new2+0x76) [0x4be1c6]
    ./perf() [0x4b8b4f]
    ./perf(modules__parse+0xfc) [0x4a9d5c]
    ./perf() [0x4b8460]
    ./perf(machine__create_kernel_maps+0x150) [0x4bb550]
    ./perf(machine__new_host+0xfa) [0x4bb75a]
    ./perf(init_probe_symbol_maps+0x93) [0x506623]
    ./perf() [0x455ffa]
    ./perf(cmd_probe+0x6c) [0x4566bc]
    ./perf() [0x47abc5]
    ./perf(main+0x610) [0x421f90]
    /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f1345a8eaf5]
    ./perf() [0x4220a9]

But also map__new2() gets the dso which will be put when the map is
released.

So, we have to drop the constructor reference obtained in
machine__findnew_module_dso().

Actually, dsos__findnew gets the dso before returning it, so the dso
user (in this case machine__create_kernel_maps) has to put the dso after
used.

Actually machine__exit forgot to call machine__destroy_kernel_maps.

This fixes some memory leaks on map as below.

Without this fix.
  ----
  ./perf probe vfs_read
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe:vfs_read -aR sleep 1

  REFCNT: BUG: Unreclaimed objects found.
  REFCNT: Total 4 objects are not reclaimed.
     To see all backtraces, rerun with -v option

Fix machine__destroy_kernel_maps() to drop vmlinux_maps references
before filling it with NULL.

map__new2() returns map with refcnt = 1, and also map_groups__insert
gets it again in__machine__create_kernel_maps().

machine__destroy_kernel_maps() calls map_groups__remove() to
decrement the refcnt, but before decrement it again (corresponding
to map__new2), it makes vmlinux_maps[type] = NULL. And this may
cause a refcnt leak.
