Subject: [PATCH 08/12] perf tools: Free temporary 'sys' string in read_event_files()
Date: Mon,  8 Oct 2018 21:54:23 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181009005427.6607-9-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181009005427.6607-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Sanskriti Sharma <sansharm@redhat.com>

For each system in a given pevent, read_event_files() reads in a
temporary 'sys' string.  Be sure to free this string before moving onto
to the next system and/or leaving read_event_files().

Fixes the following coverity complaints:

  Error: RESOURCE_LEAK (CWE-772):

  tools/perf/util/trace-event-read.c:343: overwrite_var: Overwriting
  "sys" in "sys = read_string()" leaks the storage that "sys" points to.

  tools/perf/util/trace-event-read.c:353: leaked_storage: Variable "sys"
  going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.
