[PATCH v1 0/3] Fix and improve __maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert

[Ian Rogers]

Fix latent unlikely bugs in __maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert.

Improve __maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert's performance 21x in the case
of overlapping mmaps. sesse@xxxxxxxxxx reported slowness opening
perf.data files from chromium where the files contained a large number
of overlapping mappings. Improve this case primarily by avoiding
unnecessary sorting.

Unscientific timing data processing a perf.data file with overlapping
mmap events from chromium:

Before:
real    0m9.856s
user    0m9.637s
sys     0m0.204s

After:
real    0m0.675s
user    0m0.454s
sys     0m0.196s

Tested with address/leak sanitizer, invariant checks and validating
the before and after output are identical.

Ian Rogers (3):
  perf maps: Fix use after free in __maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert
  perf maps: Reduce sorting for overlapping mappings
  perf maps: Add/use a sorted insert for fixup overlap and insert
