When propagating dependencies from parents after parsing, an expression node is allocated if the parent symbol is a 'choice'. This node was never freed. Outline of leak: if (sym && sym_is_choice(sym)) { ... *Allocate (in this case only)* parentdep = expr_alloc_symbol(sym); } else if (parent->prompt) parentdep = parent->prompt->visible.expr; else parentdep = parent->dep; for (menu = parent->list; menu; menu = menu->next) { ... *Copy* basedep = expr_alloc_and(expr_copy(parentdep), basedep); ... } *parentdep lost if the parent is a choice!* Fix by freeing 'parentdep' after the loop if the parent symbol is a choice. Note that this only frees the expression node and not the choice symbol itself. Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 1,608 bytes in 67 blocks ... Summary after the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ... Signed-off-by: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> |

README
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.
