[PATCH] tools lib traceevent: Fix double free in event_read_fields()
From: Shang XiaoJing
Date: Mon Oct 17 2022 - 05:00:53 EST
There is a double free in event_read_fields(). After calling free_token()
to free the token, if append() failed, then goto fail, which will call
free_token() again. Triggered by compiling with perf and run "perf sched
record". Fix the double free by goto fail_expect instead of fail while
append() failed, which won't call redundant free_token().
BUG: double free
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted
Fixes: d286447f23cd ("tools lib traceevent: Handle realloc() failure path")
