Subject: [PATCH v2 02/16] scripts/kallsyms: fix definitely-lost memory leak
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2019 01:04:30 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191123160444.11251-3-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191123160444.11251-1-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
build_initial_tok_table() overwrites unused sym_entry to shrink the
table size. Before the entry is overwritten, table[i].sym must be freed
since it is malloc'ed data.
This fixes the 'definitely lost' report from valgrind. I ran valgrind
against x86_64_defconfig of v5.4-rc8 kernel, and here is the summary:
[Before the fix]
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 53,184 bytes in 2,874 blocks
[After the fix]
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
