[PATCH v4 8/9] perf, x86: enlarge PEBS buffer

From: Yan, Zheng
Date: Thu Jul 31 2014 - 02:45:25 EST


Currently the PEBS buffer size is 4k, it only can hold about 21
PEBS records. This patch enlarges the PEBS buffer size to 64k
(the same as BTS buffer), 64k memory can hold about 330 PEBS
records. This will significantly the reduce number of PMI when
large PEBS interrupt threshold is used.
