[PATCH] perf buildid: Avoid copy of uninitialized memory

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Fri Jan 13 2023 - 13:57:58 EST


build_id__init only copies the buildid data up to size leaving the
rest of the data array uninitialized. Copying the full array during
synthesis means the written event contains uninitialized memory. This
was detected by the Clang/LLVM memory sanitizer.
