Subject: [PATCH 15/18] perf tools: Make the mmap length autotuning more robust

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

If /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb is not (power of 2 + PAGE_SIZE_in_kb)
and we let the perf tools do mmap length autosizing based on that, then, for
non-CAP_IPC_LOCK users when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is > -1, then
we get an -EINVAL that ends up in:

  [acme@...andy linux]$ trace usleep 1
  Invalid argument
  [acme@...andy linux]$ perf record usleep 1
  failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)

After this fix:

  [acme@...andy linux]$ trace usleep 1
  <SNIP>
   0.806 ( 0.006 ms): munmap(addr: 0x7f7e4740a000, len: 66467) = 0
   0.869 ( 0.002 ms): brk(                                   ) = 0x7bb000
   0.873 ( 0.003 ms): brk(brk: 0x7dc000                      ) = 0x7dc000
   0.877 ( 0.001 ms): brk(                                   ) = 0x7dc000
   0.953 ( 0.058 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7fff26ab9420         ) = 0
   0.959 ( 0.000 ms): exit_group(
  [acme@...andy linux]$ perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (~759 samples) ]
  [acme@...andy linux]$
