[for-linus][PATCH 1/5] tracing: Avoid memory leak in process_system_preds()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Sat Dec 21 2019 - 16:11:54 EST


From: Keita Suzuki <keitasuzuki.park@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When failing in the allocation of filter_item, process_system_preds()
goes to fail_mem, where the allocated filter is freed.

However, this leads to memory leak of filter->filter_string and
filter->prog, which is allocated before and in process_preds().
This bug has been detected by kmemleak as well.

Fix this by changing kfree to __free_fiter.
