ASan reports a memory leak caused by evlist not being deleted on exit in perf-report, perf-script and perf-data. The problem is caused by evlist->session not being deleted, which is allocated in perf_session__read_header, called in perf_session__new if perf_data is in read mode. In case of write mode, the session->evlist is filled by the caller. This patch solves the problem by calling evlist__delete in perf_session__delete if perf_data is in read mode. Changes in v2: - call evlist__delete from within perf_session__delete v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210621234317.235545-1-rickyman7@gmail.com/ ASan report follows: $ ./perf script report

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.
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.
