[ Upstream commit ae7440ef0c ]
expr_trans_compare() always allocates and returns a new expression,
giving the following leak outline:
...
*Allocate*
basedep = expr_trans_compare(basedep, E_UNEQUAL, &symbol_no);
...
for (menu = parent->next; menu; menu = menu->next) {
...
*Copy*
dep2 = expr_copy(basedep);
...
*Free copy*
expr_free(dep2);
}
*basedep lost!*
Fix by freeing 'basedep' after the loop.
Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 344,376 bytes in 14,349 blocks
...
Summary after the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 44,448 bytes in 1,852 blocks
...

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
