[PATCH 16/20] perf trace: free syscall->arg_fmt

From: Riccardo Mancini
Date: Thu Jul 15 2021 - 12:08:09 EST


ASan reports several memory leaks running the perf test
"88: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname".
The second of these leaks is caused by the arg_fmt field of syscall not
being deallocated.

This patch adds a new function syscall__exit which is called on all
syscalls.table entries in trace__exit, which will free the arg_fmt
field.
