[PATCH v2 3/8] perf build-id: Reduce size of "size" variable

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Apr 24 2025 - 15:59:30 EST


Later clean up of the dso_id to include a build_id will suffer from
alignment and size issues. The size can only hold up to a value of
BUILD_ID_SIZE (20) and the mmap2 event uses a byte for the value.
