There are two checks, one is for size when running without admin, but
this one is covered by the driver and reported on in more detail here
(builtin-record.c):
pr_err("Permission error mapping pages.\n"
"Consider increasing "
"/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb,\n"
"or try again with a smaller value of -m/--mmap_pages.\n"
"(current value: %u,%u)\n",
This had the effect of artificially limiting the aux buffer size to a
value smaller than what was allowed because perf_event_mlock_kb wasn't
taken into account.
The second is to check for a power of two, but this is covered here
(evlist.c):
pr_info("rounding mmap pages size to %s (%lu pages)\n",
buf, pages);

Yes, task_is_in_init_pid_ns() is more clear.
Will respin for this. Thank you for suggestion!
Leo
The kernel uses open code to check if a process is in root PID namespace
or not in several places.
Suggested by Suzuki, this patch set is to create a helper function
task_is_in_root_ns() so we can use it replace open code.
To test this patch set, I built Arm64 kernel with enabling all relevant
modules, and verified the kernel with CoreSight module on Arm64 Juno
board.

2.25.1
1) API updated to allow dynamic load and unload of configurations and
features. Dependency management between loaded sets is added.
2) New configuration and feature sets can be added using a loadable module.
An example in /samples/coresight is provided to demonstrate this.
3) configfs can be used to activate a configuration which will then be used
when controlling tracing using sysfs.
Applies and tested on coresight/next - which is 5.16-rc1
Changes since v2: (requested by Mathieu)
a) Split first patch into two patches to introduce the concept of owner,
then use it to implement dynamic load / unload.
b) Renamed configfs configuration attributes used to enable and set
preset on configurations when using CoreSight with sysfs
c) Updated docs to reflect use of enable and preset attributes for sysfs
CoreSight control.
Changes since v1:
a) Original set split to divide related changes into smaller sets.
Removed RFC flag.
b) Revised config activation for sysfs to simplify common function.
(patch 4).
c) Minor changes requested by Mathieu added.

2.17.1
Currently, cs-etm passes the tid value for both tid and pid parameters
when calling machine__set_current_tid(), this can lead to confusion for
thread handling. E.g. we arbitrarily pass the same value for pid and
tid, perf tool will be misled to consider it is a main thread (see
thread__main_thread()).
On the other hand, Perf tool only can retrieve tid from Arm CoreSight
context packet, and we have no chance to know pid (it maps to kernel's
task_struct::tgid) from hardware tracing data. For this reason, this
patch passes -1 as pid for function machine__set_current_tid().
