Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, mce: Add persistent MCE event

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@....com>

Add the necessary glue to enable the mce_record tracepoint on boot,
turning it into a persistent event. This exports the MCE buffer through
a debugfs per-CPU file which a userspace daemon can read and then
process the received error data further.
