kconfig: Don't leak symbol names during parsing
Prior to this fix, zconf.y did not free symbol names from zconf.l in these contexts: - After T_CONFIG ('config LEAKED') - After T_MENUCONFIG ('menuconfig LEAKED') - After T_SELECT ('select LEAKED') - After T_IMPLY ('imply LEAKED') - After T_DEFAULT in a choice ('default LEAKED') All of these come in the form of T_WORD tokens, which always have their associated string allocated on the heap in zconf.l and need to be freed. Fix by introducing a new nonterminal 'nonconst_symbol' which takes a T_WORD, fetches the symbol, and then frees the T_WORD string. The already existing 'symbol' nonterminal works the same way but also accepts T_WORD_QUOTE, corresponding to a constant symbol. T_WORD_QUOTE should not be accepted in any of the contexts above, so the 'symbol' nonterminal can't be reused here. Fetching the symbol in 'nonconst_symbol' also removes a bunch of sym_lookup() calls from actions. Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 711,571 bytes in 37,756 blocks ... Summary after the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 387,504 bytes in 15,545 blocks ...
