Ian told me that there are many memory leaks in the hierarchy mode. I
can easily reproduce it with the follwing command.
$ make DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS=-fsanitize=leak
$ perf record --latency -g -- ./perf test -w thloop
$ perf report -H --stdio
...
Indirect leak of 168 byte(s) in 21 object(s) allocated from:

$ perf report -H --stdio 2>&1 | grep -c '^Indirect leak'

I found that hist_entry__delete() missed to release child entries in the
hierarchy tree (hroot_{in,out}). It needs to iterate the child entries
and call hist_entry__delete() recursively.
After this change:
$ perf report -H --stdio 2>&1 | grep -c '^Indirect leak'
0

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 reStructuredText 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.
