Masahiro Yamada be2fa44b51 genksyms: fix memory leak when the same symbol is read from *.symref file ... When a symbol that is already registered is read again from *.symref file, __add_symbol() removes the previous one from the hash table without freeing it. [Test Case] $ cat foo.c #include <linux/export.h> void foo(void); void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); $ cat foo.symref foo void foo ( void ) foo void foo ( void ) When a symbol is removed from the hash table, it must be freed along with its ->name and ->defn members. However, sym->name cannot be freed because it is sometimes shared with node->string, but not always. If sym->name and node->string share the same memory, free(sym->name) could lead to a double-free bug. To resolve this issue, always assign a strdup'ed string to sym->name.
