From c5078f78b455fbf67ea71442c7e7ca8acf9ff095 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 5 May 2009 17:50:24 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: provide an mlock threshold Provide a threshold to relax the mlock accounting, increasing usability. Each counter gets perf_counter_mlock_kb for free.
