[PATCH 1/2] perf c2c: Fix error masking, OOM, and unchecked caller errors in hpp_list__parse()

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

hpp_list__parse() has three bugs:

1. The PARSE_LIST macro resets ret = 0 at the start of each invocation,
   so an error from output parsing is silently overwritten when the sort
   parsing block runs.  The function returns success with partially
   initialized state.

2. When the caller passes a non-NULL output_ or sort_ string, but
   strdup() returns NULL due to OOM, NULL is passed to PARSE_LIST which
   treats it as empty input (the "if (!_list) break" branch).  No error
   is returned.

3. When the called _fn function fails and returns something other than
   -ESRCH or -EINVAL (-ENOMEM, for instance) it was not bailing out of
   the strtok loop.

Fix them by checking strdup() return values before proceeding and adding
a cleanup label so that ret from each PARSE_LIST call is checked before
the next runs, preserving the first error.

The early exits now skip perf_hpp__setup_output_field(), which means
c2c_hists__reinit() can return a non-zero value in cases that previously
always succeeded silently.  Both callers discarded its return:
resort_cl_cb() continued into hists__collapse_resort() on a broken list,
and perf_c2c__report() proceeded with uninitialised hists.  Fix the full
chain: check and propagate the error in resort_cl_cb() -- hists__iterate_cb()
already stops iteration and returns the callback error -- and check both
c2c_hists__reinit() and hists__iterate_cb() in perf_c2c__report().

Also turn PARSE_LIST into a function, using a switch to catch other
errors, converting the called functions to return an appropriate errno
instead of -1 on failure.

Fixes: 2d388bd0c9d3 ("perf c2c report: Add stdio output support")
