From 6d8b7d3934b2c4f718441784823fbaeaa4c5327d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2018 11:27:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86,perf: Disable intel_bts when PTI MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 99a9dc98ba52267ce5e062b52de88ea1f1b2a7d8 upstream. The intel_bts driver does not use the 'normal' BTS buffer which is exposed through the cpu_entry_area but instead uses the memory allocated for the perf AUX buffer. This obviously comes apart when using PTI because then the kernel mapping; which includes that AUX buffer memory; disappears. Fixing this requires to expose a mapping which is visible in all context and that's not trivial. As a quick fix disable this driver when PTI is enabled to prevent malfunction.
