In order to support usersapce access, an event must be mmapped. While there's already mmap support for evlist, the usecase is a bit different than the self monitoring with userspace access. So let's add new perf_evsel__mmap()/perf_evsel_munmap() functions to mmap/munmap an evsel. This allows implementing userspace access as a fastpath for perf_evsel__read(). The mmapped address is returned by perf_evsel__mmap_base() which primarily for users/tests to check if userspace access is enabled.

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 Restructured Text 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.
