Subject: CVE-2021-47190: perf bpf: Avoid memory leak from perf_env__insert_btf()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

perf bpf: Avoid memory leak from perf_env__insert_btf()

perf_env__insert_btf() doesn't insert if a duplicate BTF id is
encountered and this causes a memory leak. Modify the function to return
a success/error value and then free the memory if insertion didn't
happen.

v2. Adds a return -1 when the insertion error occurs in
    perf_env__fetch_btf. This doesn't affect anything as the result is
    never checked.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47190 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
