[PATCH v3] perf: disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support

[Stephane Eranian]

For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).
We have identified cases where it would not report the correct
mapping information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids.
We will revisit the support once we find a solution for this case.

The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2
is set. The patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP
for synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting attr->mmap2
mode because the kernel would reject it.

The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.

In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.
In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we
know it will fail and require fallback retry.
