[PATCH V2 04/12] perf inject: Add facility to do in place update

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri Apr 30 2021 - 03:03:02 EST


When there is a need to modify only timestamps, it is much simpler and
quicker to do it to the existing file rather than re-write all the
contents.

In preparation for that, add the ability to modify the input file in place.
In practice that just means making the file descriptor and mmaps writable.
