[PATCH resent 4/4] perf tools: Retry mapping buffers readonly on EACCES

[Robert Richter]

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@xxxxxxxxxx>

Persistent event buffers may only be mmapped readonly. Thus, retry
mapping it readonly if mmap returns EACCES after trying to mmap
writable.

[ namhyung: Don't write to readonly mmap'ed buffers. ]
