Can you please include newlines at the end of the files?

It produces very ugly patches if something is added at the end of such
files.

Here as well, we can go just for SPDX license.

This is pretty much useless, why don't we pass the value directly to he
mmap()? We do that with the first mmap anyways.

Can we get rid of this useless comment please?

I think I asked you about this previously, but what is the point of
assigning the value to a local variable? I does not make any sense.

I've tried to run the test on my machine (Core i3 with 4.14 kernel) and
the test failed because the INTEL_PT_PMU_TYPE file is not present.

So we should check for the file presence first and exit the test with
TCONF if it's not there.

Also do I need a newer CPU or do need to enable certain kernel config
option in order to run this test? Ideally something like this should be
noted in the top level comment.

            ^
	    Again useless comment.

> +	bufm =  create_map(fde, buhsz);
               ^
	       Two spaces instead of one.

Have you checked the patch with checkpatch.pl (that is shipped with
linux kernel sources)?

That's very minor, but it's better to decleare the
setup/cleanup/del_map/create_map functions static.

Other than the comments above, it looks good.
