Steven Rostedt (Google) 33d5d4e67a tracing: Free error logs of tracing instances 
commit 3357c6e429 upstream.

When a tracing instance is removed, the error messages that hold errors
that occurred in the instance needs to be freed. The following reports a
memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo 'hist:keys=x' > instances/foo/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
 # cat instances/foo/error_log
 [  117.404795] hist:sched:sched_switch: error: Couldn't find field
   Command: hist:keys=x
                      ^
 # rmdir instances/foo

Then check for memory leaks:

 # echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

The problem is that the error log needs to be freed when the instance is
removed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
