perf/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning
The following commit: 9dff0aa95a32 ("perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes") results in perf recording failures with larger mmap areas: root@skl:/tmp# perf record -g -a failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) The root cause is that the following condition is buggy: if (order_base_2(size) >= MAX_ORDER) goto fail; The problem is that @size is in bytes and MAX_ORDER is in pages, so the right test is: if (order_base_2(size) >= PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER) goto fail; Fix it.
