Title:
  cache'd pid recycling adds cached info to hash again causing double
  free on exit cleanup

Status in cpustat package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cpustat source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [XENIAL SRU]

  [Impact]
  Cached pid info is added to the hash table even when it's a re-used pid info causing a double free on exit cleanup.  Only add pid info to hash table if it is newly allocated.

  [Test Case]
  Run cpustat for a long duration as follows:

  cpustat 1 -T -g

  ..and work through a lot of processes IDs until we re-use a PID, e.g.:

  stress-ng --fork 0 &

  and stop cpustat with SIGINT, one hits a double free as it exits

  [Regression Potential]

  Minimal, the fix stops an item being added to a cache'd hash list more
  than once, and that is a minimal impact on the main cpustat
  functionality.

  [Fix]
  Upstream commit http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/cking/cpustat.git/commit/?id=dc7d2fe45560c414645bc286a7cd63f13b69dc6c
