| |
Hi folks,
I'm rethinking --map-adjustment now, and I believe what we need should be something like 'perf inject', which allows us to inject fake mmap events into perf.data to make 'perf report' believe some //anon memory are file based mapping. Patch 2/4 - 4/4 seem not useful now. However, patch 1/4 is still useful because it is a bugfix. Could you please drop the other 3 patches and merge this one?
Thank you.
