What now? Can we add the mmap path as an option?
I'd say an option is always a possibility, but someone please try
what happens if you use stupid large events (dwarf stack copies) on
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS (.period=1) while recording with mmap().
The other option is to simply disallow PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER for
that event.
Personally I think 8k copies for every event are way stupid anyway,
that's a metric ton of data at a huge cost.
Well, with 1 khz sampling of a single threaded workload it's 8MB per
second - that's 80 MB for 10 seconds profiling - not the end of the
world.
We now use 4 khz sampling frequency by default, just FYI. :)
