Subject: perf callchain: Reference count maps
From: Krister Johansen <kjlx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit aa33b9b9a2ebb00d33c83a5312d4fbf2d5aeba36 upstream.
If dso__load_kcore frees all of the existing maps, but one has already
been attached to a callchain cursor node, then we can get a SIGSEGV in
any function that happens to try to use this invalid cursor. Use the
existing map refcount mechanism to forestall cleanup of a map until the
cursor iterates past the node.
