perf symbols: Update kcore map before merging in remaining symbols
[ Upstream commit f30232b20fadea8c0f2f43f764bc06e51e8cfcdf ]
When loading kcore, the main vmlinux map is updated in the same loop
that merges the remaining maps. If a map that overlaps is merged in
before kcore, the list can become unsortable when the main map addresses
are updated. This will later trigger the check_invariants() assert:
$ perf record
$ perf report
util/maps.c:96: check_invariants: Assertion `map__end(prev) <=
map__start(map) || map__start(prev) == map__start(map)' failed.
Aborted
Fix it by moving the main map update prior to the loop so that
maps__merge_in() can split it if necessary.
Fixes: 659ad3492b913c90 ("perf maps: Switch from rbtree to lazily sorted array for addresses")
