[PATCH 0/3] perf report: Recognize hugetlb mapping as anon mapping

[Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

The requirement of this function is first proposed at 2015.
Please refer to

For systems which use hugetlbfs, if a sample is captured inside
hugetlbfs, perf should not resolve symbols from the file shown in
/prof/<pid>/mmap, because 'files' in hugetlbfs are constructed
during execution and not ELF files. If user knows positions of
symbols, he/she should provide /tmp/perf-<pid>.map file.

This 3 patches makes perf recognize hugetlbfs mapping as anon mapping.
Before this 3 patches user has no chance to use his/her own .map file
to resolve symbols because perf tries to use hugetlbfs file.

Wang Nan (3):
  perf tools: Recognize hugetlb mapping as anon mapping
  tools lib api fs: Add hugetlbfs filesystem detector
  perf record: Mark MAP_HUGETLB during synthesizing mmap events
