[PATCH v2 1/3] perf tools: Recognize hugetlb mapping as anon mapping

From: Wang Nan
Date: Tue Sep 06 2016 - 00:59:16 EST


Hugetlbfs mapping should be recognized as anon mapping so user has
a chance to create /tmp/perf-<pid>.map file for symbol resolving. This
patch utilizes MAP_HUGETLB to identify hugetlb mapping.

After this patch, if perf is started before the program starts using
huge pages (so perf gets MMAP2 events from kernel), perf is able to
recognize hugetlb mapping as anon mapping.
