[PATCH v3 3/3] perf maps: Fix copy_from that can break sorted by name order

From: Ian Rogers

Date: Tue Apr 07 2026 - 22:10:02 EST


When an parent is copied into a child the name array is populated in
address not name order. Make sure the name array isn't flagged as sorted.

Fixes: 659ad3492b91 ("perf maps: Switch from rbtree to lazily sorted array for addresses")
