[PATCH 04/18] perf trace: Let the perf_evlist__mmap autosize the number of pages to use

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Dec 16 2014 - 11:57:55 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

So that normal users can run 'trace', we were using a hardcoded 1024
pages value that was more than the default /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb
setting.
