Subject[PATCH 3/5] perf tools: Add GCC optimization to memory allocating functions
Date
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org>

We can benefit from the alloc_size attribute in xrealloc and zalloc.

Quoting from http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html:

"The alloc_size attribute is used to tell the compiler that the function return
value points to memory, where the size is given by one or two of the functions
parameters. GCC uses this information to improve the correctness of
__builtin_object_size."
