There's ./arch/x86/include/asm/orc_types.h for this. Please don't
duplicate. objtool uses that same header.
Good catch! Thanks for your kindly reminder! I'll remove it.

Do we really need to copy the heapsort implementation? That is, why not
use libc's qsort() ? This is userspace after all.

Yes, I think qsort is better choice than copy-paste here. But qsort does not support customized swap func, which is needed for ORC unwind swap two tables together. I think it's hard to do with qsort, so I used sort same with original orc unwind table sort.
