From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> 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:
