[PATCH v3 05/10] libperf: Add libperf_evsel__mmap()

Rob Herring robh at kernel.org
Fri Sep 11 17:51:13 EDT 2020


In order to support usersapce access, an event must be mmapped. While
there's already mmap support for evlist, the usecase is a bit different
than the self monitoring with userspace access. So let's add a new
perf_evsel__mmap() function to mmap an evsel. This allows implementing
userspace access as a fastpath for perf_evsel__read().

The mmapped address is returned by perf_evsel__mmap() primarily for
users/tests to check if userspace access is enabled.
