So, I'm still working on and off on this, current status is at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/log/?h=perf/map_share

Its just one patch more than perf/core, the one that does the sharing.

The thing is, as I'm going over all the fields in 'struct map', it seems
that we'll end up with just one cacheline per instance, as there are
things there that are not strictly related to a map, but to a map_group
(unmap_ip/map_ip), or to a dso (maj, min, ino, ino_generation), and some
need less than what is allocated to them.

Current status is:

This is with the tentative move of maj/min/ino/ino_generation to 'struct
dso', but that needs more work to match the sort order that touches it
"dcacheline", i.e. a map that comes with the same backing DSO but
different values for those fields is not the same DSO, right?

Right now with moving the maj/min/etc to dso, in the map_share patch we
get the structure used to keep shared entries in the rb_tree at 40
bytes, under one cacheline, while the full 'struct map' is 32 bytes more
than one cacheline, so still good for sharing:

So give me some more time, please :-)

The sharing map is this one, without the maj/map/ move to 'struct dso':
