[RFC][PATCH 2/3] perf_counter: executable mmap() information

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Mar 25 2009 - 17:07:45 EST


Currently the profiling information returns userspace IPs but now way
to correlate them to userspace code. Userspace could look into
/proc/$pid/maps but that might not be current or even present anymore
at the time of analyzing the IPs.

Therefore provide means to track the mmap information and provide it
in the output stream.

XXX: only covers mmap()/munmap(), mremap() and mprotect() are missing.
