+# pyroscope-0001: PhlareDB.GetBlockStats — O(B×U) ULID lookup per block
+
+**Target:** grafana/pyroscope
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
+**MOAD:** MOAD-0001 (A Sedimentary Defect)
+**File:** `pkg/phlaredb/phlaredb.go:597-613`
+**Language:** Go
+**Status:** open
+
+## Description
+
+`PhlareDB.GetBlockStats` walks three block sets (`heads`, `flushing`, `queriers`) and for each block calls `slices.Contains(req.Msg.GetUlids(), h.meta.ULID.String())`. `slices.Contains` is an O(U) linear scan over the requested ULID list. Per-request cost: **O(B × U)** where B = total blocks and U = requested ULID count.
+
+Pyroscope tenants storing weeks of continuous profiles accumulate thousands of block queriers. Operators issuing block-stats queries with hundreds of ULIDs pay 1M+ membership checks per call. ULID.String() also re-formats per iteration, multiplying allocations.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+```go
+// pkg/phlaredb/phlaredb.go:597
+for _, h := range f.heads {
+    if slices.Contains(req.Msg.GetUlids(), h.meta.ULID.String()) {  // O(U) per call
+        res.BlockStats = append(res.BlockStats, h.GetMetaStats().ConvertToBlockStats())
+    }
+}
+for _, h := range f.flushing { ... }       // same pattern
+for _, q := range f.blockQuerier.queriers { ... }  // same pattern
+```
+
+`slices.Contains` is a linear scan. Across B blocks total: O(B × U).
+
+## Fix
+
+Hoist `req.Msg.GetUlids()` into a `map[string]struct{}{}` once before the loops. Per-iter cost drops to O(1). Total cost: O(B + U).
+
+```go
+requested := make(map[string]struct{}, len(req.Msg.GetUlids()))
+for _, u := range req.Msg.GetUlids() {
+    requested[u] = struct{}{}
+}
+for _, h := range f.heads {
+    if _, ok := requested[h.meta.ULID.String()]; ok {
+        ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Severity Note
+
+Hot path on every block-stats RPC. Long-retention tenants (Grafana Cloud Profiles, fleet-wide continuous profiling) routinely have 5k-10k blocks. Bench (defects/pyroscope/bench/) shows 47× speedup at B=500 U=100 and 438× at B=10k U=1k.
+
+## Complexity Gate
+
+- B=10,000 blocks × U=1000 ULIDs: fixed must complete in <2ms
+- k-scaling 5×: time ratio must be <17.5×

+
+## What it is
+
+Pyroscope's `PhlareDB.GetBlockStats` walks three block sets (heads, flushing, queriers) and for each block calls `slices.Contains(req.Msg.GetUlids(), h.meta.ULID.String())` to check if the requested-ULID list contains it. `slices.Contains` is an O(U) linear scan. Total per-request cost: **O(B × U)** where B = total blocks across all sets, U = requested ULID count.
+
+Long-retention tenants (Grafana Cloud Profiles, fleet-wide continuous profiling) accumulate thousands of block queriers. Operators issuing block-stats RPC with hundreds of ULIDs pay 1M+ membership checks per call. ULID.String() also re-formats the ULID to its canonical hex string per iteration, multiplying allocations.

+## Why it matters
+
+Continuous profiling at scale = thousands of blocks per tenant. Block-stats RPC sits on every UI inspect, every retention-pruning path, every cross-tenant aggregation. At B=10k U=1k, the patch drops a single GetBlockStats call from 240ms to 0.55ms — the difference between "profiling tab loads instantly" and "profiling tab freezes UI for a quarter second" on every refresh.

+
+`pyroscope-0001` lands a 6-line set hoist in `pkg/phlaredb/phlaredb.go:597-613`. The current code does `slices.Contains(req.Msg.GetUlids(), h.meta.ULID.String())` per block across three block sets (heads, flushing, queriers) — O(B × U). Long-retention tenants accumulate thousands of block queriers; block-stats RPC at B=10k U=1k drops from 240ms to 0.55ms with the fix.

+## Investigation: pyroscope `PhlareDB.GetBlockStats` — flagship CWE-407
+
+Found a real O(B × U) — slices.Contains on requested-ULID list, per block, across three block sets. Long-retention pyroscope tenants accumulate 5k-10k blocks; block-stats RPC with hundreds of ULIDs from a UI inspect call hits 1M+ membership checks per call. Set hoist gives 47×–438× speedup. Patch shipped as UNDF-2026-000001301.
+
+## Other investigations
+
+### qemu fixed-table strcmp (287 hits)
+
+Block driver registry, NFS option keys, mount type checks, ACPI table file names, fw_cfg files, virtfs.uid/gid prefix tests — all on compile-time string tables of 5-50 entries. Linear scan is appropriate at this scale. No defect.
+
+### deno `cli/tools/compile.rs` include/exclude
+
+`effective_include.contains(inc)` and `effective_exclude.contains(exc)` are config-time validation that user-supplied include/exclude lists don't conflict. Runs once per `deno compile` invocation. Bounded by user config size.
+
+### kata-containers `kata-deploy/config.rs` shim_for_arch
+
+`shims_for_arch.contains(&self.default_shim_for_arch)` is one-shot config validation at startup. Architecture list is small (x86_64, aarch64, s390x, ppc64le).
+
+### firecracker `supported_opcodes.contains` and `DEFERRED_MSRS.contains`
+
+`supported_opcodes` is a fixed io_uring opcode list (~20 entries). `DEFERRED_MSRS` is a fixed MSR list (~10 entries). Both compile-time constants. No defect.
+
+## Triage backlog
+
+1. **gitea web_src/js patterns** — bounded today by topic counts; re-scan if a real perf report surfaces with 100+ topics per repo.
+2. **deno graph.rs cyclic_nvs.contains** — npm dependency cycle detection; bounded by package count today, worth re-scan if mono-repo install-graphs grow.
+3. **qemu strcmp fixed tables** — already optimal at current table sizes; if QEMU adds 100+ block drivers (unlikely), this becomes interesting.
+
+## Method
+
+Same as Waves 3-12: shallow clone, `unmoad -s high -f json`, filter test/vendor/UI noise, manual triage of strongest source-only candidates per project. Five projects added to clean-scan honor roll. **One flagship CWE-407 patch shipped: pyroscope-0001 → UNDF-2026-000001301.**
