Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] perf synthetic-events: Fix line synchronization, bounds, and truncation bugs in proc maps reader
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:51:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720225200.3810501-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720225200.3810501-1-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()
safely, ignoring already-consumed newlines to preserve synchronization
for subsequent map entries. Use standard '//toolong' fallback literal
for over-length pathnames, and emit timeout flags for truncated entries
securely via goto out;.
