3ef8e3fdc8 tools/mm/page_owner_sort: bound pattern output copies
search_pattern() copies a regex capture into caller-provided buffers
without knowing their sizes.  Several callers pass fixed-size buffers,
including FIELD_BUFF and TASK_COMM_LEN.

Pass the destination size to search_pattern(), reject captures that do not
fit before copying them, and terminate the output string inside
search_pattern().

c88c52baa8 tools/mm/page_owner_sort: free per-record allocations
add_list() allocates comm and txt for each page owner record, but the
cleanup path only frees the outer list array.  This leaks both buffers for
every retained record.

Free partial allocations in add_list(), discarded records during culling,
and retained records on exit.

aef750043c tools/mm/page_owner_sort: return explicit filter results
Patch series "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and cleanup issues",
v5.

Patch 1 renames is_need() to filter_record() and makes the filter path
return explicit results.  Patch 2 fixes the per-record allocation leaks. 
Patch 3 bounds search_pattern() output copies, addressing the pre-existing
issue reported by Sashiko/AI review.


This patch (of 3):

Rename is_need() to filter_record() and make the filter path return
explicit error, skip, and match results.  This lets callers distinguish
allocation failures from records that simply do not match active filters.

7013803444 tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix timestamp comparison for stable sorting
The ternary operator in compare_ts() returns 1 when timestamps are equal,
causing unstable sorting behavior. Replace with explicit three-way
comparison that returns 0 for equal timestamps, ensuring stable qsort
ordering and consistent output.

c6d5e4901e tools/mm: fix the default case for page_owner_sort
With the additional commands and timestamps added to the tool, the default
case (-t) has been broken.  Now that the allocation timestamps are saved
outside of the txt field, allow us to properly sort the data by number of
times the record has been seen.  Furthermore prevent the misuse of the
commandline arguments so only one compare option can be used.

63a150623a tools/mm: filter out timestamps for correct collation
With the introduction of allocation timestamps being included in
page_owner output, each record becomes unique due to the timestamp
nanosecond granularity.  Remove the check in add_list that tries to
collate each record during processing as the memcmp() is just additional
overhead at this point.

Also keep the allocation timestamps, but allow collation to occur without
consideration of the allocation timestamp except in the case were
allocation timestamps are requested by the user (the -a option).
