[PATCH 5.3 039/148] tools lib traceevent: Do not free tep->cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 10 2019 - 04:41:21 EST


From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b0215e2d6a18d8331b2d4a8b38ccf3eff783edb1 upstream.

If the re-allocation of tep->cmdlines succeeds, then the previous
allocation of tep->cmdlines will be freed. If we later fail in
add_new_comm(), we must not free cmdlines, and also should assign
tep->cmdlines to the new allocation. Otherwise when freeing tep, the
tep->cmdlines will be pointing to garbage.
