[PATCH 161/161] perf symbols: Fix a mmap and munmap mismatched bug

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Oct 14 2013 - 16:08:08 EST


From: Chenggang Qin <chenggang.qcg@xxxxxxxxxx>

In function filename__read_debuglink(), while the ELF file is opend and
mmapped in elf_begin(), but if this file is considered to not be usable
during the following code, we will goto the close(fd) directly. The
elf_end() is skipped. So, the mmaped ELF file cannot be munmapped. The
mmapped areas exist during the life of perf.

This is a memory leak. This patch fixed this bug.
