[PATCH 0/7] perf tools: Clarify overwrite and backward, bugfix

[Wang Nan]

Based on previous discussion, perf needs to support only two types
of ringbuffer: read-write + forward, readonly + backward. This patchset
completly removes the concept of 'overwrite' from code level, controls
mapping permission using write_backward instead.

Wang Nan (7):
  perf mmap: Fix perf backward recording
  perf tests: Set evlist of test__backward_ring_buffer() to !overwrite
  perf tests: Set evlist of test__sw_clock_freq() to !overwrite
  perf tests: Set evlist of test__basic_mmap() to !overwrite
  perf tests: Set evlist of test__task_exit() to !overwrite
  perf tools: Remove 'overwrite' concept from code level
  perf tools: Remove prot field in mmap param
