[PATCH] tracing: uprobes: Fix incorrect __free function that frees an error value in __trace_uprobe_create()
Posted by Ella Ma 1 week, 2 days ago
Before applying the __free annotation, the original version goes to
label `fail_address_parse`, and does not call function
`free_trace_uprobe` on pointer `tu`. However, after the change, the
function will be called whenever the function returns. This makes the
error value returned by `alloc_trace_uprobe` get freed.

This patch fixes this issue by adding the check for error value in the
__free function definition.

Found by Clang Static Analyzer (my own development fork
https://github.com/Snape3058/llvm-patch-revision/tree/cleanup).

	warning: Argument to 'kfree()' is a constant address
	(18446744073709551604), which is not memory allocated by
	'malloc()' [unix.Malloc]
