[PATCH v10 19/20] perf maps: Fix map index lookup fallback and removal
From: Ian Rogers
Date: Fri Nov 06 2026 - 02:08:42 EST
maps__by_address_index() and maps__by_name_index() currently only run
their linear pointer scan when maps_by_address_sorted or
maps_by_name_sorted is false, returning -1 (UINT_MAX) immediately if
bsearch() returns NULL. When a map's start/end address or DSO short_name
is updated in place without clearing the sorted flags (for example
during module map setup), map__start_cmp() or map__strcmp() tie-breakers
can become stale and cause bsearch() to miss an entry that is present in
the array.
Fix the lookup and removal paths so stale sort keys or missing maps are
handled safely:
- Fall back to the linear pointer scan in maps__by_address_index() and
maps__by_name_index() when bsearch() returns NULL, and avoid calling
bsearch() on empty or NULL arrays.
- Check map__start(prev) < map__start(new) in __maps__insert() before
preserving maps_by_address_sorted so entries with end == 0 (from
map__new2()) or equal start addresses do not leave an unsorted array
marked sorted.
- Factor out __maps__remove_at() with bounds checks on address_idx and
name_idx (freeing maps_by_name if out of bounds) and remove from
maps_by_name before calling map__put() on the maps_by_address entry
so REFCNT_CHECKING does not see a freed handle. Have
maps__remove_maps() call __maps__remove_at(maps, i) directly so it
removes at index i in O(1) without redundant lookup or risking an
infinite loop if lookup failed.
- Guard against maps__by_address_index() returning -1 wrapping ++i to
0 in maps__find_next_entry().
- Clear maps_by_name_sorted and re-sort maps_by_address when
maps__fixup_end() clamps equal-start maps, and use
machine__update_kernel_mmap() instead of the unlocked
machine__set_kernel_mmap() in machine__create_kernel_maps().
Add a unit test in tests/maps.c covering maps__remove(),
maps__remove_maps(), maps__fixup_end(), and maps__find_next_entry().
Fixes: 659ad3492b91 ("perf maps: Switch from rbtree to lazily sorted array for addresses")
