Fix leaks in all the linux osdata annex transfers + code factorization.
Valgrind reports leaks in all linux osdata annex transfers of linux-osdata.c. A typical leak (this one is of gdb.base/info-os) is: ==10592== VALGRIND_GDB_ERROR_BEGIN ==10592== 65,536 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3,175 of 3,208 ==10592== at 0x4C2E273: realloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:826) ==10592== by 0x409B0C: xrealloc (common-utils.c:62) ==10592== by 0x408BC3: buffer_grow(buffer*, char const*, unsigned long) [clone .part.1] (buffer.c:40) ==10592== by 0x5263DF: linux_xfer_osdata_processes(unsigned char*, unsigned long, unsigned long) (linux-osdata.c:370) ==10592== by 0x520875: linux_nat_xfer_osdata (linux-nat.c:4214) ... The leaks are created because the linux_xfer_osdata_* functions transfer the ownership of their 'static struct buffer' memory to their 'static char *buf' local var, but then call buffer_free instead of xfree-ing buf. I see no reason why the ownership of the memory has to be transferred from a local var to another local var, so the fix consists in dropping the 'static char *buf' and accessing the struct buffer memory where needed. Also, because this bug was replicated in all functions, and there was a non neglectible amount of duplicated code, the setup and usage of the 'static struct buffer' is factorized in a new function common_getter. The buffer for a specific annex is now a member of the struct osdata_type instead of being a static var of each linux_xfer_osdata_* function. Thanks to this, all the linux_xfer_osdata_* do not have anymore any logic related to the partial transfer of data: they now only build the xml data in a struct buffer. This all removes about 300 SLOC. Note: git diff/git format-patch shows a lot of differences only due to space changes/indentation changes. So, git diff -w helps to look only at the relevant differences. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-12-11 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * nat/linux-osdata.c (common_getter): New function. (struct osdata_type): Change getter to take_snapshot. Add LONGEST len_avail and struct buffer buffer. Change all elements in the initializer. Add an element for the list of types. (linux_xfer_osdata_info_os_types): New function. (linux_common_xfer_osdata): Use common_getter for the list of types. Replace getter call by common_getter. (linux_xfer_osdata_cpus): Remove args READBUF, OFFSET, LEN. Add arg BUFFER. Only keep the code that adds data in BUFFER. (linux_xfer_osdata_fds): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_modules): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_msg): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_processes): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_processgroups): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_sem): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_shm): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_isockets): Likewise. (linux_xfer_osdata_threads): Likewise.
