From: Sanskriti Sharma <sansharm@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9c8a182e5a73e01afd11742a2ab887bf338fdafd ] parse_ftrace_printk() tokenizes and parses a line, calling strdup() each iteration. Add code to free this temporary format string duplicate. Fixes the following coverity complaints: Error: RESOURCE_LEAK (CWE-772): tools/perf/util/trace-event-parse.c:158: overwrite_var: Overwriting "printk" in "printk = strdup(fmt + 1)" leaks the storage that "printk" points to. tools/perf/util/trace-event-parse.c:162: leaked_storage: Variable "printk" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.
