But after perf touches all pages in ring-buffer and stack, it won't
generate page-faults for itself anymore, right?

Hmm.. thinking it again, perf has all ring-buffer pages in memory when
mmap() called, right?  If so why not doing something like MAP_POPULATE
so that it doesn't need to generate minor-faults?

Thanks,
