The parse events parser leaks memory for certain expressions as well
as allowing a char* to reference stack, heap or .rodata. This series
of patches improves the hygeine and adds free-ing operations to
reclaim memory in the parser in error and non-error situations.

The series of patches was generated with LLVM's address sanitizer and
libFuzzer:
https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html
called on the parse_events function with randomly generated input. With
the patches no leaks or memory corruption issues were present.

The v6 patches address a C90 compilation issue.
Please take a look at what is in my perf/core branch, to see what is
left, if something needs fixing, please send a patch on top of that,
Thanks, just the last patch remaining. I resent it rebased on your
perf/core branch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/8/1103

Thanks,
Ian

The v5 patches add initial error print to the set, as requested by
Jiri Olsa. They also fix additional 2 missed frees in the patch
'before yyabort-ing free components' and remove a redundant new_str
variable from the patch 'add parse events handle error' as spotted by
Stephane Eranian.

The v4 patches address review comments from Jiri Olsa, turning a long
error message into a single warning, fixing the data type in a list
iterator and reordering patches.

The v3 patches address review comments from Jiri Olsa improving commit
messages, handling ENOMEM errors from strdup better, and removing a
printed warning if an invalid event is passed.

The v2 patches are preferable to an earlier proposed patch:
   perf tools: avoid reading out of scope array

Ian Rogers (10):
  perf tools: add parse events handle error
  perf tools: move ALLOC_LIST into a function
  perf tools: avoid a malloc for array events
  perf tools: splice events onto evlist even on error
  perf tools: ensure config and str in terms are unique
  perf tools: add destructors for parse event terms
  perf tools: before yyabort-ing free components
  perf tools: if pmu configuration fails free terms
  perf tools: add a deep delete for parse event terms
  perf tools: report initial event parsing error
