Perform memory cleanup on exit.
On receiving invalid 'pid' we still should clean 'output' variable.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.

This control logic is a bit strange.
When change_tramp() fails we should not printk() the output variable.
if (pid < 0){
free(output);
return;
}
Would be much cleaner.

I just didn't want to clone this free-return stuff. So, what you
proposing is like this:
------------
...
output = uml_kmalloc(output_len, UM_GFP_KERNEL);
if (output == NULL)
printk(UM_KERN_ERR "change : failed to allocate output "
"buffer\n");
pid = change_tramp(argv, output, output_len);
if (pid < 0) {
free(output); <---------- I'm not sure
but 'output' can be NULL here.
return;
}
if (output != NULL) {
printk("%s", output);
kfree(output);
}
}
------------
I was trying to print 'output' only in case change_tramp is
successful. That's the old logic. And at the same time perform free
only in case output is not NULL.

Why?
Freeing a NULL pointer is perfectly fine.

I should agree that something that you propose has better readability.
So, here is updated patch.
