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.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
