Exercise various mmap(), munmap() and mremap() invocations, which might cause a perf buffer mapping to be split or truncated. To avoid hard coding the perf event and having dependencies on architectures and configuration options, scan through event types in sysfs and try to open them. On success, try to mmap() and if that succeeds try to mmap() the AUX buffer. In case that no AUX buffer supporting event is found, only test the base buffer mapping. If no mappable event is found or permissions are not sufficient, skip the tests. Reserve a PROT_NONE region for both rb and aux tests to allow testing the case where mremap unmaps beyond the end of a mapped VMA to prevent it from unmapping unrelated mappings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
