This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20221104 as part of the linux-next scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits: Tue Nov 1 13:44:09 2022 +0100 9f2899fe36a6 ("objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbols") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1527141: Resource leaks (RESOURCE_LEAK) tools/objtool/elf.c:833 in elf_create_prefix_symbol() 827 struct symbol *sym = calloc(1, sizeof(*sym)); 828 size_t namelen = strlen(orig->name) + sizeof("__pfx_"); 829 char *name = malloc(namelen); 830 831 if (!sym || !name) { 832 perror("malloc"); vvv CID 1527141: Resource leaks (RESOURCE_LEAK) vvv Variable "sym" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. 833 return NULL; 834 } 835 836 snprintf(name, namelen, "__pfx_%s", orig->name); 837 838 sym->name = name; If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1527141 ("Resource leaks") Fixes: 9f2899fe36a6 ("objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbols") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
