And these are the results on a kernel that has the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
functionality, for a workload started from 'perf record' and for an
existing process, so that we can check the synthesizing code:
[root@zoo ~]# perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (~615 samples) ]
Now lets check the events details, just cycles, in this case, use more
if you want to check that just the first one has mmap2 set:
[root@zoo ~]# perf evlist -v
cycles: sample_freq=4000, size: 96, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD,
disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, mmap2: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1,
enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
[root@zoo ~]#
Now lets see if MMAP2 records were produced:
[root@zoo ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
776650444880 0x3838 [0x60]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 2918/2918: [0x400000(0x2000) @ 0 08:07 655426 1850659034]: /usr/bin/usleep

Yeah, for all the userspace DSOs, the kernel modules and vmlinux
remained as MMAP records:
[root@zoo ~]# perf report -D | grep -w PERF_RECORD_MMAP | head -4
0 0xd8 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0(0xffffffff9fffffff) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: [kernel.kallsyms]_text

[root@zoo ~]#
[root@zoo ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP | cut -f 4 -d' ' | sort | uniq -c
119 PERF_RECORD_MMAP
5 PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
[root@zoo ~]
[root@zoo ~]# lsmod | grep -v '^Module.*Size.*Used by$' | wc -l
118
[root@zoo ~]#
I.e. 118 (yeah, distros load a lot of those these days!) plus vmlinux.
And if we observe an existing thread, say the current shell interpreter:
[acme@zoo linux]$ perf record -e instructions,cycles -p 1878 usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (~615 samples) ]
[acme@zoo linux]$ perf evlist -v
instructions: sample_freq=4000, config: 1, size: 96, sample_type: IP|TID|ID|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, mmap2: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
cycles: sample_freq=4000, size: 96, sample_type: IP|TID|ID|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1

Used two to check that the second event has no mmap2 bit set, just like for
mmap, comm, etc.
[acme@zoo linux]$ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP2

Now lets look at the exec maps for this existing thread, to check that
we rightly synthesized them:
[acme@zoo linux]$ grep xp /proc/1878/maps

Yeah, maj, min, inode seems all ok, i_generation is zero, as expected.
Now its just a matter of using this extra info in a tool! 8-)
I haven't performed all these tests when running on an older kernel, just checked that
PERF_RECORD_MMAP was present, PERF_RECORD_MMAP2, as expected, were not, probably they
will be present only for the synthesized events, right? The ones coming from the kernel
were all PERF_RECORD_MMAP, as expected.
