perf tools: Fix crash in build_id_cache__kallsyms_path()
build_id_cache__kallsyms_path() accepts a string buffer but also allocs a buffer using asnprintf. Unfortunately, the its only user passes it a stack-allocated buffer. Freeing it causes crashes like this: $ perf script *** Error in `/home/wangnan/perf': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fffffff9630 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= lib64/libc.so.6(+0x6eeef)[0x7ffff5dbaeef] lib64/libc.so.6(+0x78cae)[0x7ffff5dc4cae] lib64/libc.so.6(+0x79987)[0x7ffff5dc5987] /home/w00229757/perf(build_id_cache__kallsyms_path+0x6b)[0x49681b] /home/w00229757/perf[0x4bdd40] /home/w00229757/perf(dso__load+0xa3a)[0x4c048a] /home/w00229757/perf(map__load+0x6f)[0x4d561f] /home/w00229757/perf(thread__find_addr_map+0x235)[0x49e935] /home/w00229757/perf(machine__resolve+0x7d)[0x49ec6d] /home/w00229757/perf[0x4555a8] /home/w00229757/perf[0x4d9507] /home/w00229757/perf[0x4d9e80] /home/w00229757/perf(ordered_events__flush+0x354)[0x4dd444] /home/w00229757/perf(perf_session__process_events+0x3d0)[0x4dc140] /home/w00229757/perf(cmd_script+0x12b0)[0x4592e0] /home/w00229757/perf[0x4911f1] /home/w00229757/perf(main+0x68f)[0x4352ef] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x7ffff5d6dbd5] /home/w00229757/perf[0x435415] ======= Memory map: ======== This patch simplifies build_id_cache__kallsyms_path(), not even considering allocating a string buffer, so never frees anything. Its caller should manage memory allocation.
