Subject: [PATCH] perf report: Fix a memory leak for perf_env on AMD
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 17:04:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250311000416.817631-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

The env.pmu_mapping can be leaked when it reads data from a pipe on AMD.
For a pipe data, it reads the header data including pmu_mapping from
PERF_RECORD_HEADER_FEATURE runtime.  But it's already set in:

  perf_session__new()
    __perf_session__new()
      evlist__init_trace_event_sample_raw()
        evlist__has_amd_ibs()
          perf_env__nr_pmu_mappings()

Then it'll overwrite that when it processes the HEADER_FEATURE record.
Here's a report from address sanitizer.

  Direct leak of 2689 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x7fed8f814596 in realloc ../../../../src/libsanitizer/lsan/lsan_interceptors.cpp:98

    #14 0x7fed85833d67 in __libc_start_call_main ../sysdeps/nptl/libc_start_call_main.h:58

Let's free the existing pmu_mapping data if any.
