'mmap_pages' is 'unsigned int' not 'int' e.g.
perf record -m2147483648 uname
Permission error mapping pages.
Consider increasing /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb,
or try again with a smaller value of -m/--mmap_pages.
(current value: -2147483648)
Fixed:
perf record -m2147483648 uname
Permission error mapping pages.
Consider increasing /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb,
or try again with a smaller value of -m/--mmap_pages.
