From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com> This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a bounds table for a given virtual address range. This is useful to ensure that the kernel actually "tried" to free a bounds table versus times it succeeded.
It might try and fail if it realized that a table was shared with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.
