PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are
created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing
threads

Seems like that should be documented in the man pages:

[dsa@MacBook perf]$ egrep -r mmap_data Documentation/
[dsa@MacBook perf]$

Vince: where are you keeping the man page you are putting together?
