[ Upstream commit 45c9c4101d3d2fdfa00852274bbebba65fcc3cf2 ]
When a symbol that is already registered is added again, __add_symbol() returns without freeing the symbol definition, making it unreachable.
The following test cases demonstrate different memory leak points.
[Test Case 1]
Forward declaration with exactly the same definition
$ cat foo.c #include <linux/export.h> void foo(void); void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
[Test Case 2]
Forward declaration with a different definition (e.g. attribute)
$ cat foo.c #include <linux/export.h> void foo(void); __attribute__((__section__(".ref.text"))) void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
[Test Case 3]
Preserving an overridden symbol (compile with KBUILD_PRESERVE=1)
$ cat foo.c #include <linux/export.h> void foo(void); void foo(void) { } EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
$ cat foo.symref override foo void foo ( int )
The memory leaks in Test Case 1 and 2 have existed since the introduction of genksyms into the kernel tree. [1]
The memory leak in Test Case 3 was introduced by commit 5dae9a550a74 ("genksyms: allow to ignore symbol checksum changes").
When multiple init_declarators are reduced to an init_declarator_list, the decl_spec must be duplicated. Otherwise, the following Test Case 4 would result in a double-free bug.
[Test Case 4]
$ cat foo.c #include <linux/export.h>
extern int foo, bar;
int foo, bar; EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
In this case, 'foo' and 'bar' share the same decl_spec, 'int'. It must be unshared before being passed to add_symbol().
