Olivia, as Alex pointed out there are references to syms and str in
the struct "s"....so you can't just free those I don't think.
The problem that leaves us with is that on every reset when we call
load_elf() that we re-load and re-malloc space for the symbols.
I think the solution may be to factor out the call to load_symbols()
from load_elf(). It looks like what load_symbols does in the end is
set the variable syminfos to point to the loaded symbol info.
If you factor load_symbols() out then in load_elf_32/64() you would do
something like:
elf_phy_loader_32/64()
load_symbols_32/64().
We don't need to be reloading symbols on every reset.
Alex, does that make sense?
