5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 769e6a1e15bdbbaf2b0d2f37c24f2c53268bd21f ]
ui_browser__show() is capturing the input title that is stack allocated
memory in hist_browser__run().
Avoid a use after return by strdup-ing the string.
Committer notes:
Further explanation from Ian Rogers:
My command line using tui is:
$ sudo bash -c 'rm /tmp/asan.log*; export
ASAN_OPTIONS="log_path=/tmp/asan.log"; /tmp/perf/perf mem record -a
sleep 1; /tmp/perf/perf mem report'
I then go to the perf annotate view and quit. This triggers the asan
error (from the log file):
```

Address 0x7f2813331920 is located in stack of thread T0 at offset 32 in frame
#0 0x55c94046e85e in hist_browser__run ui/browsers/hists.c:746
This frame has 1 object(s):
[32, 192) 'title' (line 747) <== Memory access at offset 32 is
inside this variable
HINT: this may be a false positive if your program uses some custom
stack unwind mechanism, swapcontext or vfork
```
hist_browser__run isn't on the stack so the asan error looks legit.
There's no clean init/exit on struct ui_browser so I may be trading a
use-after-return for a memory leak, but that seems look a good trade
anyway.
