Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf/core: Make sure the ring-buffer is mapped in all page-tables

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

The ring-buffer is accessed in the NMI handler, so we better
avoid faulting on it. Sync the vmalloc range with all
page-tables in system to make sure everyone has it mapped.

This fixes a WARN_ON_ONCE() that can be triggered with PTI
enabled on x86-32:

	WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/fault.c:320 vmalloc_fault+0x220/0x230

This triggers because with PTI enabled on an PAE kernel the
PMDs are no longer shared between the page-tables, so the
vmalloc changes do not propagate automatically.
