Subject: perf kwork: Fix address sanitizer issues
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ca426c0f6e9cce1db51348cfc8048a42e39cfa9a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

perf kwork: Fix address sanitizer issues

There is a double free in the record array due to how parse_options
will mutate the array. Fix by keeping an array that isn't
mutated. Ensure kwork_usage is freed on all paths.
