The dso_id previously contained the major, minor, inode and inode generation information from a mmap2 event - the inode generation would be zero when reading from /proc/pid/maps. The build_id was in the dso. With build ID mmap2 events these fields wouldn't be initialized which would largely mean the special empty case where any dso would match for equality. This isn't desirable as if a dso is replaced we want the comparison to yield a difference. To support detecting the difference between DSOs based on build_id, move the build_id out of the DSO and into the dso_id. The dso_id is also stored in the DSO so nothing is lost. Capture in the dso_id what parts have been initialized and rename dso_id__inject to dso_id__improve_id so that it is clear the dso_id is being improved upon with additional information. With the build_id in the dso_id, use memcmp to compare for equality.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
