Subject: perf top: fix segfault
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c2990a2a582d73562d4dcf2502c39892a19a691d;p=linux-beck.git

perf top: fix segfault

c6eb13 increased stack usage such that perf-top now croaks on startup.

Take event_array and mmap_array off the stack to prevent segfault on boxen
with smallish ulimit -s setting.
