[PATCH 0/2] hw: fix some leaks in xlnx devices

[Peter Maydell]

These patches fix some minor leaks in xlnx devices detected
by running 'make check' under ASAN.

[PATCH 1/2] hw/misc/xlnx-versal-cframe-reg: Free FIFO, g_tree on deinit

[Peter Maydell]

In the xlnx-versal-cframe-reg device we create a FIFO in
instance_init but don't destroy it on deinit, causing ASAN
to report a leak in the device-introspect-test:

Direct leak of 400 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x5aded4d54e23 in malloc (/mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/qemu-system-aarch64+0x24ffe23) (BuildId: 9f1e6c53fecd904ba5fc1f521d7da080a0e4103b)
    #1 0x71fbfac9bb09 in g_malloc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0+0x62b09) (BuildId: 1eb6131419edb83b2178b682829a6913cf682d75)
    #2 0x5aded850059d in fifo8_create /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../util/fifo8.c:27:18
    #3 0x5aded582b9e4 in fifo32_create /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/include/qemu/fifo32.h:35:5
    #4 0x5aded582b326 in cframe_reg_init /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../hw/misc/xlnx-versal-cframe-reg.c:693:5

Similarly, we don't clean up the g_tree we create:
Direct leak of 48 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x5aded4d54e23 in malloc (/mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/qemu-system-aarch64+0x24ffe23) (BuildId: 9f1e6c5

    #1 0x71fbfac9bb09 in g_malloc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0+0x62b09) (BuildId: 1eb6131419edb83b2178b682829a6913cf682d75)
    #2 0x71fbfaccc799 in g_tree_new_full (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0+0x93799) (BuildId: 1eb6131419edb83b2178b682829a6913cf682d7
5)
    #3 0x5aded582b21a in cframe_reg_init /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../hw/misc/xlnx-versal-cframe-reg.c:691:18

Add an instance_finalize method to clean up what we
allocated in instance_init.

[PATCH 2/2] hw/display/xlnx_dp: Don't leak dpcd and edid objects

[Peter Maydell]

In the xnlx_dp_init() function we create the s->dpcd and
s->edid objects with qdev_new(); then in xlnx_dp_realize()
we realize the dpcd with qdev_realize() and the edid with
qdev_realize_and_unref().

This is inconsistent, and both ways result in a memory
leak for the instance_init -> deinit lifecycle tested
by device-introspect-test:

Indirect leak of 1968 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x5aded4d54e23 in malloc (/mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/qemu-system-aarch64+0x24ffe23) (BuildId: 9f1e6c5

Instead, explicitly object_unref() after we have added the objects as
child properties of the device.  This means they will automatically
be freed when this device is deinited.  When we do this,
qdev_realize() is the correct way to realize them in
xlnx_dp_realize().
