Infrastructure changes: - Fix multiple leaks found with Valgrind and a refcount debugger (Masami Hiramatsu) - Add further 'perf test' entries for BPF and LLVM (Wang Nan) - Improve 'perf test' to suport subtests, so that the series of tests performed in the LLVM and BPF main tests appear in the default 'perf test' output (Wang Nan) - Move memdup() from tools/perf to tools/lib/string.c (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Adopt strtobool() from the kernel into tools/lib/ (Wang Nan) - Fix selftests_install tools/ Makefile rule (Kevin Hilman) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- 8c2accc8ca0be9cd8119ca439038243dfc8fcd0d
