Subject: [PATCH v2] perf parse: Copy string to perf_evsel_config_term

perf with CoreSight fails to record trace data with command:

perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ls
failed to set sink "" on event cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u with 21 (Is a
directory)/perf/

This failure is root caused with the commit 1dc925568f01 ("perf
parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms").

The log shows, cs_etm fails to parse the sink attribution; cs_etm event
relies on the event configuration to pass sink name, but the event
specific configuration data cannot be passed properly with flow:

get_config_terms()
ADD_CONFIG_TERM(DRV_CFG, drv_cfg, term->val.str);
__t->val.drv_cfg = term->val.str;
`> __t->val.drv_cfg is assigned to term->val.str;

parse_events_terms__purge()
parse_events_term__delete()
zfree(&term->val.str);
`> term->val.str is freed and assigned to NULL pointer;

cs_etm_set_sink_attr()
sink = __t->val.drv_cfg;
`> sink string has been freed.

To fix this issue, in the function get_config_terms(), this patch
changes from directly assignment pointer value for the strings to
use strdup() for allocation a new duplicate string for the cases:

perf_evsel_config_term::val.callgraph
perf_evsel_config_term::val.branch
perf_evsel_config_term::val.drv_cfg.

hum, I did not check yesterday how we release perf_evsel_config_term
objects, but looks like now we need to release those pointers in here:
perf_evsel__free_config_terms

My bad! I did some check for releasing but missed this function.

Will spin a new patch for this. Since '__t->val' is an union type, so
for the releasing, I think we need to use below code.

Please let me know if this is okay for you?

we would need to update perf_evsel__free_config_terms all the time
we add new term.. which does not happen too often, but that's another
reason we will probably forget that ;-)

I wonder we could make it generic with the 'char*' pointer in
the val union like in the below.. totaly untested

also we might not need to pass __name to ADD_CONFIG_TERM_STR
and ADD_CONFIG_TERM any more and just initialize 'str' pointer
