[patch 3/6] perf/core: Split out VM accounting
Posted by Thomas Gleixner 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Similary to the mlock limit calculation the VM accounting is required for
both the ringbuffer and the AUX buffer allocations.

To prepare for splitting them out into seperate functions, move the
accounting into a helper function.
