If lr->path failed to assign a new value, it will be freed as the old path and then be freed again during line_range__clear(), and causes this: $ perf probe -L do_execve -k vmlinux *** Error in `/usr/bin/perf': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0000000000a9ac50 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= ../lib64/libc.so.6(+0x6eeef)[0x7ffff5e44eef] ../lib64/libc.so.6(+0x78cae)[0x7ffff5e4ecae] ../lib64/libc.so.6(+0x79987)[0x7ffff5e4f987] ../bin/perf[0x4ab41f] ...
