From 7fcdccd4237724931d9773d1e3039bfe053a6f52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Wed, 13 May 2020 10:20:26 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf parse-events: Fix incorrect conversion of 'if () free()' to 'zfree()' When applying a patch by Ian I incorrectly converted to zfree() an expression that involved testing some other struct member, not the one being freed, which lead to bugs reproduceable by: $ perf stat -e i/bs,tsc,L2/o sleep 1 WARNING: multiple event parsing errors Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ Fix it by restoring the test for pos->free_str before freeing pos->val.str, but continue using zfree(&pos->val.str) to set that member to NULL after freeing it.
