Subject: [PATCH v1 2/4] perf synthetic-events: Fix line synchronization, bounds, and truncation bugs in proc maps reader
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 10:54:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720175455.3645946-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720175455.3645946-1-irogers@google.com>
Fix critical logic and boundary bugs in read_proc_maps_line() and caller.
Ensure any mid-line hex/dec/char parsing failure invokes io__drain_line()
to preserve line synchronization for subsequent map entries. Replace the
truncation bug (which improperly cleared over-length pathnames to an empty
string) with the kernel's standard '//toolong' fallback literal, and clamp
and pad structure size boundaries safely.
