When ordering events, we use preallocated buffers to store separate events. Those buffers currently don't have their own struct, but since they are basically an array of 'struct ordered_event' objects, we use the first event to hold buffers data - list head, that holds all buffers together: struct ordered_events { ... struct ordered_event *buffer; ... }; struct ordered_event { u64 timestamp; u64 file_offset; union perf_event *event; struct list_head list; }; This is quite convoluted and error prone as demonstrated by free-ing issue discovered and fixed by Stephane in here [1]. This patch adds the 'struct ordered_events_buffer' object, that holds the buffer data and frees it up properly.
