Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to mprotect()

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>

Some JIT compilers allocate memory for generated code with
posix_memalign() + mprotect() so we need to hook into mprotect() to make
sure 'perf' is aware that we're executing code in anonymous memory.

[ penberg@...helsinki.fi: move the hook to sys_mprotect() ]
