Wang Nan May 13, 2016, 7:56 a.m. UTC 
Reading from overwritable ring buffer is unreliable. Introduce
record__mmap_should_read() and prevent reading from such ring
buffers in 'perf record'. The rule in record__mmap_should_read() will
be changed when perf support reading from backward writing ring buffer.
