Subject: [PATCH] perf ksymbol: fix memory leak: decrease refcount of map and dso
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2021 01:10:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210602231052.317048-1-rickyman7@gmail.com> (raw)
ASan reported a memory leak of BPF-related ksymbols map and dso.
The leak is caused by refcount never reaching 0, due to missing
__put calls in the function machine__process_ksymbol_register.
Once the dso is inserted in map, dso__put should be called,
since map__new2 has increased its refcount to 2.
The same thing applies for the map when it's inserted into the
rb-tree in maps (maps__insert increases the refcount to 2).
$ sudo ./perf record -- sleep 5
