Currently, commands which depend on 'parse_options_subcommand()' don't show the usage string, and instead show '(null)' $ ./perf sched Usage: (null) -D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII -f, --force don't complain, do it -i, --input <file> input file name -v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc) 'parse_options_subcommand()' is generally expected to initialise the usage string, with information in the passed 'subcommands[]' array This behaviour was changed in: 230a7a71 ("libsubcmd: Fix parse-options memory leak") Where the generated usage string is deallocated, and usage[0] string is reassigned as NULL. As discussed in [1], free the allocated usage string in the main function itself, and don't reset usage string to NULL in parse_options_subcommand With this change, the behaviour is restored. $ ./perf sched Usage: perf sched [<options>] {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist} -D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII -f, --force don't complain, do it -i, --input <file> input file name -v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/htq5vhx6piet4nuq2mmhk7fs2bhfykv52dbppwxmo3s7du2odf@styd27tioc6e/ Fixes: 230a7a71 ("libsubcmd: Fix parse-options memory leak") Suggested-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Aditya Gupta <adityag@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240904061836.55873-2-adityag@linux.ibm.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
