Subject: [PATCH 09/13] perf evlist: Round mmap pages to power 2 - v2
Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 17:46:14 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384289178-31374-10-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1384289178-31374-1-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org>
From: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>
Currently perf requires the -m / --mmap_pages option to be a power of 2.
To be more user friendly perf should automatically round this up to the
next power of 2.
Currently:
$ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1
--mmap_pages/-m value must be a power of two.sleep: Terminated
With patch:
$ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1
rounding mmap pages size to 16384 (4 pages)
...
v2: Add bytes units to rounding message per Ingo's request. Other
suggestions (e.g., prefixing INFO) should be addressed by wrapping
pr_info to catch all instances.
