The allocated page for this array is physically contiguous (and virtually contiguous) with an order of 0..MAX_ORDER. If the size of pointer array crosses the limitation set by MAX_ORDER, it reveals a WARNING. So bail out early with -ENOMEM if the request AUX area is out of bound, e.g.: #perf record -C 0 -m ,4G -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1 failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) Signed-off-by: Shuai Xue <xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Manuel Diewald <manuel.diewald@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Roxana Nicolescu <roxana.nicolescu@canonical.com> |
