If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Masahiro Yamada [ Upstream commit 45c9c4101d3d2fdfa00852274bbebba65fcc3cf2 ] When a symbol that is already registered is added again, __add_symbol() returns without freeing the symbol definition, making it unreachable. The following test cases demonstrate different memory leak points. [Test Case 1] Forward declaration with exactly the same definition $ cat foo.c #include void foo(void); void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); [Test Case 2] Forward declaration with a different definition (e.g. attribute) $ cat foo.c #include void foo(void); __attribute__((__section__(".ref.text"))) void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); [Test Case 3] Preserving an overridden symbol (compile with KBUILD_PRESERVE=1) $ cat foo.c #include void foo(void); void foo(void) { } EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); $ cat foo.symref override foo void foo ( int ) The memory leaks in Test Case 1 and 2 have existed since the introduction of genksyms into the kernel tree. [1] The memory leak in Test Case 3 was introduced by commit 5dae9a550a74 ("genksyms: allow to ignore symbol checksum changes"). When multiple init_declarators are reduced to an init_declarator_list, the decl_spec must be duplicated. Otherwise, the following Test Case 4 would result in a double-free bug. [Test Case 4] $ cat foo.c #include extern int foo, bar; int foo, bar; EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); In this case, 'foo' and 'bar' share the same decl_spec, 'int'. It must be unshared before being passed to add_symbol().
