Subject: [PATCH v6 03/44] perf: Move security_perf_event_free() call to __free_event()
Date: Fri,  5 Dec 2025 16:16:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251206001720.468579-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251206001720.468579-1-seanjc@google.com>

Move the freeing of any security state associated with a perf event from
_free_event() to __free_event(), i.e. invoke security_perf_event_free() in
the error paths for perf_event_alloc().  This will allow adding potential
error paths in perf_event_alloc() that can occur after allocating security
state.

Note, kfree() and thus security_perf_event_free() is a nop if
event->security is NULL, i.e. calling security_perf_event_free() even if
security_perf_event_alloc() fails or is never reached is functionality ok.
