From de04f8657de9d3351a2d5880f1f7080b23b798cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2014 19:23:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tools lib traceevent: Fix memory leak in pretty_print() Commit 12e55569a244 "tools lib traceevent: Use helper trace-seq in print functions like kernel does" added a extra trace_seq helper to process string arguments like the kernel does it. But the difference between the kernel and the userspace library is that the kernel's trace_seq structure has a static allocated buffer. The userspace one has a dynamically allocated one. It requires a trace_seq_destroy(), otherwise it produces a nasty memory leak.
