    x86/cpu_entry_area: Add debugstore entries to cpu_entry_area · e0eb3466

    commit 10043e02
    
     upstream.
    
    The Intel PEBS/BTS debug store is a design trainwreck as it expects virtual
    addresses which must be visible in any execution context.
    
    So it is required to make these mappings visible to user space when kernel
    page table isolation is active.
    
    Provide enough room for the buffer mappings in the cpu_entry_area so the
    buffers are available in the user space visible page tables.
    
    At the point where the kernel side entry area is populated there is no
    buffer available yet, but the kernel PMD must be populated. To achieve this
    set the entries for these buffers to non present.
