Building perf with EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" a leak is detect
when trying to add a probe to a non-existent function:
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf dso__neW
Probe point 'dso__neW' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 193 byte(s) leaked in 2 allocation(s).
#
synthesize_perf_probe_point() returns a "detachec" strbuf, i.e. a
malloc'ed string that needs to be free'd.
An audit will be performed to find other such cases.

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.
