[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 127/130] perf parse: Fix potential memory leak when handling tracepoint errors

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4584f084aa9d8033d5911935837dbee7b082d0e9 ]

An error may be in place when tracepoint_error is called, use
parse_events__handle_error to avoid a memory leak and to capture the
first and last error. Error detected by LLVM's libFuzzer using the
following event:

$ perf stat -e 'msr/event/,f:e'
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
                     \___ can't access trace events

Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/f/e
Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/'

Initial error:
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
                                \___ no value assigned for term
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
