libsubcmd: Don't free the usage string
Currently, commands which depend on 'parse_options_subcommand()' don't show the usage string, and instead show '(null)' $ ./perf sched Usage: (null) -D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII -f, --force don't complain, do it -i, --input <file> input file name -v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc) 'parse_options_subcommand()' is generally expected to initialise the usage string, with information in the passed 'subcommands[]' array This behaviour was changed in: 230a7a7 ("libsubcmd: Fix parse-options memory leak") Where the generated usage string is deallocated, and usage[0] string is reassigned as NULL. As discussed in [1], free the allocated usage string in the main function itself, and don't reset usage string to NULL in parse_options_subcommand With this change, the behaviour is restored. $ ./perf sched Usage: perf sched [<options>] {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist} -D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII -f, --force don't complain, do it -i, --input <file> input file name -v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/htq5vhx6piet4nuq2mmhk7fs2bhfykv52dbppwxmo3s7du2odf@styd27tioc6e/ Fixes: 230a7a7 ("libsubcmd: Fix parse-options memory leak") Suggested-by: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Aditya Gupta <[email protected]> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Athira Rajeev <[email protected]> Cc: Disha Goel <[email protected]> Cc: Ian Rogers <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Kajol Jain <[email protected]> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
