With just this first one applied:

Then with:

65e1e704f37916a0 (HEAD -> perf-tools-next) perf dsos: Switch hand code to bsearch
64377d6b7d5f9a71 perf dsos: Remove __dsos__findnew_link_by_longname_id
8e773b8be95aff66 perf dsos: Remove __dsos__addnew
b1d064fc9b912ece perf dsos: Switch backing storage to array from rbtree/list

applied it continues like that, the next patch in line isn't applying.

I'll push what I have to tmp.perf-tools-next.
