Subject: perf_events: Report the MMAP pgoff value in bytes
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3a0304e90aa5a2c0c308a05d28f7d109a48d8539;p=linux-beck.git

perf_events: Report the MMAP pgoff value in bytes

DaveM reported that currently perf interprets the pgoff value reported by
the MMAP events as a byte range, but the kernel reports it as a page
offset.

Since its broken (and unusable) anyway, change the kernel behaviour (ABI)
to report bytes indeed, avoiding the need for userspace to deal with
PAGE_SIZE things.
