Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] perf synthetic-events: Fix bounds, stale state, and misc flags in kernel module synthesis
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:51:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720225200.3810501-4-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720225200.3810501-1-irogers@google.com>
Fix potential buffer overruns in perf_event__synthesize_modules_maps_cb()
by safely clamping long DSO names to the mmap/mmap2 filename boundaries.
Explicitly assign and clear the misc flags and union padding across all
iterations to prevent stale Build-ID state from leaking between module
synthesis events.
