11 * Each CPU has a local buffer that stores PC value/event
12 * pairs. We also log context switches when we notice them.
13 * Eventually each CPU's buffer is processed into the global
14 * event buffer by sync_buffer().
16 * We use a local buffer for two reasons: an NMI or similar
17 * interrupt cannot synchronise, and high sampling rates
18 * would lead to catastrophic global synchronisation if
19 * a global buffer was used.

35 * Read and write access is using spin locking. Thus, writing to the
36 * buffer by NMI handler (x86) could occur also during critical
37 * sections when reading the buffer. To avoid this, there are 2
38 * buffers for independent read and write access. Read access is in
39 * process context only, write access only in the NMI handler. If the
40 * read buffer runs empty, both buffers are swapped atomically. There
41 * is potentially a small window during swapping where the buffers are
42 * disabled and samples could be lost.
44 * Using 2 buffers is a little bit overhead, but the solution is clear
45 * and does not require changes in the ring buffer implementation. It
46 * can be changed to a single buffer solution when the ring buffer
47 * access is implemented as non-locking atomic code.
