Subject: refperf: Dynamically allocate thread-summary output buffer
X-Git-Tag: v5.9-rc1~204^2^2^5~19
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e90de76f226f11fe26c871aa321be28152f565a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

refperf: Dynamically allocate thread-summary output buffer

Currently, the buffer used to accumulate the thread-summary output is
fixed size, which will cause problems if someone decides to run on a large
number of PCUs.  This commit therefore dynamically allocates this buffer.
