Don't think that is a reasonable approach, how would be the workflow, something like: 1) Fire up 'perf top' 2) Wait a long time.... maybe something is wrong, I guess I better exit, press Q, no response, ok, I think I'll kill this bugger 3) Read docs, etc, ah! That is it! --proc-map-timeout! How couldn't I think of that? 8-) I think limiting this to say, half a second is ok, and the message about the truncation happening surely suggests using --proc-map-timeout, right? Also please rename this MMAP_TIMEOUT define, this is not about a timeout for a mmap operation, it is a timeout for parsing the proc mmap info, i.e. something like: #define PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIMEOUT (50 * 1000000ULL) Clarifies this and doesn't pollutes ctags like tools.
