scripts/kallsyms: fix definitely-lost memory leak
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858462 [ Upstream commit 21915eca ] build_initial_tok_table() overwrites unused sym_entry to shrink the table size. Before the entry is overwritten, table[i].sym must be freed since it is malloc'ed data. This fixes the 'definitely lost' report from valgrind. I ran valgrind against x86_64_defconfig of v5.4-rc8 kernel, and here is the summary: [Before the fix] LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 53,184 bytes in 2,874 blocks [After the fix] LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Connor Kuehl <connor.kuehl@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kleber Sacilotto de Souza <kleber.souza@canonical.com>
