McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 12:00:44 -07:00 refperf: Dynamically allocate thread-summary output buffer Currently, the buffer used to accumulate the thread-summary output is fixed size, which will cause problems if someone decides to run on a large number of PCUs. This commit therefore dynamically allocates this buffer. [ paulmck: Fix memory allocation as suggested by KASAN. ] Cc: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
