Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] perf ui hists: In report UI ensure thread is set
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 09:52:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709165220.1411149-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709033701.1117943-1-irogers@google.com>

A map_symbol contains a thread that provides access to the wider perf
session. Recent changes used the thread to get the e_machine to better
support cross-platform disassembly. Unfortunately the UI code wasn't
populating the thread and so the e_machine lookup failed early
breaking the 'a' for annotate TUI action. Populate the map_symbol
thread to fix this.

Note: For the popup_action array, we intentionally do NOT use
thread__get() or map__get() when assigning to ms.thread and
ms.map. The actions array has a strictly bounded lifecycle that does
not outlive the menu loop, making raw pointers safe. If we took
references, we would have to clean them up (e.g., via
map_symbol__exit()), which if erroneously applied to raw pointers
would incorrectly drop references owned by the caller and lead to a
use-after-free.

Reported-by: Josh Stone <jistone@redhat.com>
Fixes: 0e26ba5a8774 ("perf disasm: Refactor arch__find and initialization of arch structs")
