Subject: [PATCH] perf hist: Update hist symbol when updating maps
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2024 15:22:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240815142212.3834625-1-matt@readmodwrite.com> (raw)

AddressSanitizer found a use-after-free bug in the symbol code which
manifested as perf top segfaulting.

When updating hist maps it's also necessary to update the hist symbol
reference because the old one gets freed in map__put().

While this bug was probably introduced with 5c24b67aae72 ("perf tools:
Replace map->referenced & maps->removed_maps with map->refcnt"), the
symbol objects were leaked until c087e9480cf3 ("perf machine: Fix
refcount usage when processing PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL") was merged so the
bug was masked.

Fixes: c087e9480cf3 ("perf machine: Fix refcount usage when processing PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL")
