[ Upstream commit 600c787dbf6521d8d07ee717ab7606d5070103ea ]
Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
dereferencing freed memory check.
tools/perf/util/annotate.c:1125
disasm_line__parse() error: dereferencing freed memory 'namep'
tools/perf/util/annotate.c
1100 static int disasm_line__parse(char *line, const char **namep, char
**rawp)
1101 {
1102 char tmp, *name = ltrim(line);
[...]
1114 *namep = strdup(name);
1115
1116 if (*namep == NULL)
1117 goto out_free_name;
[...]
1124 out_free_name:
1125 free((void *)namep);
^^^^^
1126 *namep = NULL;
^^^^^^
1127 return -1;
1128 }
If strdup() fails to allocate memory space for *namep, we don't need to
free memory with pointer 'namep', which is resident in data structure
disasm_line::ins::name; and *namep is NULL pointer for this failure, so
it's pointless to assign NULL to *namep again.
Committer note:
Freeing namep, which is the address of the first entry of the 'struct
ins' that is the first member of struct disasm_line would in fact free
that disasm_line instance, if it was allocated via malloc/calloc, which,
later, would a dereference of freed memory.
