[PATCH] kernel/kprobes: add check to avoid memory leaks

[Bixuan Cui]

The register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp) creates and initializes
a hash list for rp->free_instances when register kretprobe every time.
Then malloc memory for it.

The test case:
static struct kretprobe rp;
struct  kretprobe *rps[2]={&rp, &rp};
static int ret_handler(struct kretprobe_instance *ri, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        printk(KERN_DEBUG "ret_handler\n");
        return 0;
}
static int entry_handler(struct kretprobe_instance *ri, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        printk(KERN_DEBUG "entry_handler\n");
        return 0;
}
static int __init kretprobe_init(void)
{
        int ret;
        rp.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *)kallsyms_lookup_name("do_fork");
        rp.handler=ret_handler;
        rp.entry_handler=entry_handler;
        rp.maxactive = 3;

        ret = register_kretprobes(rps,2);

Result:
unreferenced object 0xffff8010b12ad980 (size 64):
comm "insmod", pid 17352, jiffies 4298977824 (age 63065.756s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

backtrace:
[<ffff8000002cd880>] create_object+0x1e0/0x3f0

[<ffff8000001a6f2c>] register_kretprobe+0x12c/0x350

When call register_kretprobes(struct kretprobe **rps, int num) with the
same rps(num>=2).
The first time,call INIT_HLIST_HEAD() and kmalloc() to malloc memory for the
hash list,then save into rp->free_instances.
The second time,call INIT_HLIST_HEAD() and kmalloc() then create a new
hash list into rp->free_instances and lost the first rp->free_instances.
So add check to avoid it.
