Subject: What is the exact meaning of this parameter ?

Hi all,
I know that the perf_event_mlock_kb kernel parameter allows to limit the
amount of counters sampling memory that can be mmap'ed by an unprivileged
user.
Nevertheless, playing with the size I give to mmap some memory using the
file descriptor returned by perf_event_open I am not able to linkk with the
perf_event_mlock_kb parameter. Looking into kernel sources, it seems this
parameter is used in kernel/events/core.c where the perf mmap operation is
defined but I am not sure to understand the code there. So my question is
what is the exact meaning of this parameter ?
