Some processes store jitted code in memfd mappings to avoid having rwx mappings. These processes map the code with a writeable mapping and a read-execute mapping. They write the code using the writeable mapping and then unmap the writeable mapping. All subsequent execution is through the read-execute mapping. perf inject --jit ignores //anon* mappings for each process where a jitdump is present because it expects to inject mmap events for each jitted code range, and said jitted code ranges will overlap with the //anon* mappings. Ignore /memfd: and [anon:* mappings so that jitted code contained in /memfd: and [anon:* mappings is treated the same way as jitted code contained in //anon* mappings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
