In a debug build there is validation that mmap lists are sorted when
taking a lock. In machine__update_kernel_mmap() the start and end
addresses are updated resulting in an unsorted list before the map is
removed from the list. When the map is removed, the lock is taken which
triggers the validation and the failure:
$ perf test "object code reading"
--- start ---
perf: util/maps.c:88: check_invariants: Assertion `map__start(prev) <= map__start(map)' failed.
Aborted
Fix it by updating the addresses after removal, but before insertion.
The bug depends on the ordering and type of debug info on the system and
doesn't reproduce everywhere.
Fixes: 659ad3492b ("perf maps: Switch from rbtree to lazily sorted array for addresses")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
