PATCH 1/1 perf tools: fix off-by-one error in maps

This patch fixes off-by-one errors in the management of maps. A map is defined by start address and length as implemented by map__new():

map__init(map, type, start, start + len, pgoff, dso);

map__init()
{
map->start = addr;
map->end = end;
}

Consequently, the actual address range is ]start; end[ map->end is the first byte outside the range. This patch fixes two bugs where upper bounds were off-by-one.

Start is first byte of next range, so it is pointing to one byte after the end of the before range.
So, yes, I think we need your fix as well. I missed it. Will repost.

Consequently, the actual address range is ]start; end[ map->end is the first byte outside the range. This patch

I thought map->end should be the end of the range, not something after the end, is that really the case?

I.e. the bug would be in that call to map__init, that should instead be:

	map__init(map, type, start, start + len - 1, pgoff, dso);

no? Isn't that clearer, i.e. to keep the semantics of 'end'?

map->start = start;
map->end = start + len;

Thus map->end is the first byte after the end.

Yeah, that is the alternative. But are you sure this is the only place where a map
is initialized. And this is not really C like.

Yeah, it all depends on what you meant by end: last byte or first byte after. But then everything needs to be consistent. That is what I am trying to fix in this patch.
