I did perhaps a cleaner v2 here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200327172914.28603-1-irogers@google.com/T/#u
I have some local changes that required some more arrays in
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events, this hit a frame limit size with
our compiler set up. This change was the simplest workaround. I agree
this patch isn't essential but it should generally benefit performance
a little.

Thanks,
Ian
