Subject: [PATCH v1 05/23] perf libdw_addr2line: Fixes to srcline memory allocation
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 21:28:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260117052849.2205545-6-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260117052849.2205545-1-irogers@google.com>
Some irregular stack traces are causing double frees and memory
leaks. Make the code robust by proactively freeing and being more
careful with the memory management of the leaf_srcline.
Fixes: 88c51002d06f ("perf addr2line: Add a libdw implementation")
