[PATCH 6.6.y] Revert "perf unwind-libdw: Fix invalid reference counts"

From: Kenta Akagi

Date: Mon Apr 20 2026 - 13:30:57 EST


This reverts commit eddddf4ed7f69697cb54e714e773f764c8d3b67e.

Upstream commit f815fc0c66e7 ("perf unwind-libdw: Fix invalid reference counts"),
was backported to v6.6.128 as eddddf4ed7f6.

However, this commit depends on map_symbol__exit, which was introduced
in v6.7 as commit 56e144fe9826 ("perf mem_info: Add and use
map_symbol__exit and addr_map_symbol__exit") and is absent in v6.6.y.
This results in a build failure.

This is a revert of a backport, so there is no upstream commit.
