      tracing: Increase PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE to handle Sentinel1 and docker together · e531e90b
      Robin H. Johnson authored
      Running endpoint security solutions like Sentinel1 that use perf-based
      tracing heavily lead to this repeated dump complaining about dockerd.
      The default value of 2048 is nowhere near not large enough.
      
      Using the prior patch "tracing: show size of requested buffer", we get
      "perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144", after repeated
      up-sizing (I did 2/4/6/8K). With 8K, the problem doesn't occur at all,
      so below is the trace for 6K.
      
      I'm wondering if this value should be selectable at boot time, but this
      is a good starting point.

      tracing: Show size of requested perf buffer · a90afe8d
      Robin H. Johnson authored
      If the perf buffer isn't large enough, provide a hint about how large it
      needs to be for whatever is running.
