In the previous loop, all the members in the aliases[j-1] have been freed
and set to NULL. But in this loop, the function pmu_alias_is_duplicate()
compares the aliases[j] with the aliases[j-1] that has already been
disposed, so the function will always return false and duplicate aliases
will never be discarded.
If we find duplicate aliases, it skips the zfree aliases[j], which is
accompanied by a memory leak.
We can use the next aliases[j+1] to theck for duplicate aliases to
fixes the aliases NULL pointer dereference, then goto zfree code snippet
to release it.
After patch testing:
$ perf list --unit=hisi_sicl,cpa pmu
uncore cpa:
cpa_p0_rd_dat_32b
[Number of read ops transmitted by the P0 port which size is 32 bytes.
Unit: hisi_sicl,cpa]
cpa_p0_rd_dat_64b
[Number of read ops transmitted by the P0 port which size is 64 bytes.
Unit: hisi_sicl,cpa]
Fixes: c3245d2093c1 ("perf pmu: Abstract alias/event struct")

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 reStructuredText 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.
