perf/core: Make sure the ring-buffer is mapped in all page-tables
The ring-buffer is accessed in the NMI handler, so it's better to 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. Note: Andy said rightfully that we should try to fix the vmalloc code for that case, but that's not a hot fix for the issue at hand.
