From: Riccardo Mancini <rickyman7@xxxxxxxxx> commit cf96b8e45a9bf74d2a6f1e1f88a41b10e9357c6b upstream. ASan reports a memory leak caused by evlist not being deleted on exit in perf-report, perf-script and perf-data. The problem is caused by evlist->session not being deleted, which is allocated in perf_session__read_header, called in perf_session__new if perf_data is in read mode. In case of write mode, the session->evlist is filled by the caller. This patch solves the problem by calling evlist__delete in perf_session__delete if perf_data is in read mode. Changes in v2: - call evlist__delete from within perf_session__delete v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210621234317.235545-1-rickyman7@xxxxxxxxx/ ASan report follows: $ ./perf script report
