Subject: [PATCH v1 02/26] perf annotate: Fix sym_hist_entry memory leak when zeroing histograms
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 13:48:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113214850.3329699-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113214850.3329699-1-irogers@google.com>
annotated_source__samples maps keys to heap-allocated struct
sym_hist_entry pointers, which annotated_source__delete() frees before
destroying the hashmap. However, symbol__annotate_zero_histograms()
called hashmap__clear(notes->src->samples) directly without freeing the
stored sym_hist_entry values, leaking every entry whenever histograms
are zeroed.
Iterate over notes->src->samples and free each entry before calling
hashmap__clear().
Fixes: d3e7cad6f36d ("perf annotate: Add a hashmap for symbol histogram")
