2 * Debug Store (DS) support
4 * This provides a low-level interface to the hardware's Debug Store
5 * feature that is used for branch trace store (BTS) and
6 * precise-event based sampling (PEBS).
9 * - per-thread and per-cpu allocation of BTS and PEBS
10 * - buffer memory allocation (optional)
11 * - buffer overflow handling
15 * - get_task_struct on all parameter tasks
16 * - current is allowed to trace parameter tasks
