From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com

Avoid perf crashes: place debug_store in the user-mapped per-cpu area instead of allocating, and use page allocator plus kaiser_add_mapping() to keep the BTS and PEBS buffers user-mapped (that is, present in the user mapping, though visible only to kernel and hardware). The PEBS fixup buffer does not need this treatment.

The need for a user-mapped struct debug_store showed up before doing any conscious perf testing: in a couple of kernel paging oopses on Westmere, implicating the debug_store offset of the per-cpu area.
