[PATCH 36/37] tools lib traceevent: Do not free tep->cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Aug 29 2019 - 10:41:38 EST


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

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.
