From 906010b2134e14a2e377decbadd357b3d0ab9c6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:08:49 +0200 Subject: perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backing Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps. These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this. However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular allocations.
