Maps for JIT is helpful for symbols-parsing for anon-executable-memory.
What we need to do is to add (START, SIZE, symbolname) to /tmp/perf-%d.map
(%d = pid of process), and perf would parse symbol located in this area
according to /tmp/perf-%d.map. It works well for normal mmap.

However, when we alloc such memory from hugetlbfs by the following code:

......

     fd = open("/mnt/huge/hugepagefile", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0755);
     if (fd < 0) {
         perror("Open failed");
         exit(1);
     }
     addr = mmap(ADDR, LENGTH, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE |     \
         PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

......
where hugetlbfs is mounted in /mnt/huge. Symbols could not be parsed correctly:

#perf report
    86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  hugepagefile      [.] 0xffffffe00000005c
    86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  hugepagefile      [.] 0xffffffe0000000ac

This is because such mmap area's file backed is "/mnt/huge/hugepagefile", a node
in pseudo filesystem, it is useless for symbol-parsing. so wo had better 
recognize
such hugetlbfs area, and rename it's filename to /tmp/perf-%d.map, just as 
anon-memory
and no_dso_memory do.

This patch imports a new function named is_hugetlb_memory to check if this 
memory
is from hugetlbfs. If true, change its name.

After this patch:
#perf report
    86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  perf-182.map        [.] 0x000000200000005c
    86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  perf-182.map        [.] 0x00000020000000ac

We can add maps info to perf-182.map for further symbols-parsing.

There is something about MAP_HUGETLB.

In this patch, we check if a mmap area is hugetlbfs area by MAP_HUGETLB,
a bit in MMAP2 event.

However, if mmap area is hugetlb related, MAP_HUGETLB does not always appear. Because, there are two ways generating MMAP2 event.

1) when a new vm_area_struct is created, its info would be exported
   as a MMAP2 event.
2) perf reads /proc/pid/maps for generating MMAP2 event.

MAP_HUGETLB appears if MMAP2 event is generated on situation 1),
while not on situation 2).

This is because on situation 2), perf reads /proc/pid/maps, which
contains only PROT_READ/WRITE/EXEC, MAP_SHARED/MAP_PRIVATE, while more details appear in /proc/pid/smaps, such as MAP_HUGETLB.

So I wonder if there is a need to read /proc/pid/smaps instead of /proc/pid/maps to generate MMAP2 event. Or we should solve the problem by another way?

Thanks!
