Subject: [PATCH 6/6] perf machine: Fix insertion of PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL related kernel maps

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>

This was detected at the end of a 'perf record' session when build-id
collection was enabled and thus the BPF programs put in place while the
session was running, some even put in place by perf itself were
processed and inserted, with some overlaps related to BPF trampolines
and programs took place.

Using maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert() instead of maps__insert() "fixes"
the problem, in the sense that overlaps will be dealt with and then the
consistency will be kept, but it would be interesting to fully
understand why such overlaps take place and how to deal with them when
doing symbol resolution.
