+ * Read and write access is using spin locking. Thus, writing to the
+ * buffer by NMI handler (x86) could occur also during critical
+ * sections when reading the buffer. To avoid this, there are 2
+ * buffers for independent read and write access. Read access is in
+ * process context only, write access only in the NMI handler. If the
+ * read buffer runs empty, both buffers are swapped atomically. There
+ * is potentially a small window during swapping where the buffers are
+ * disabled and samples could be lost.
+ *
+ * Using 2 buffers is a little bit overhead, but the solution is clear
+ * and does not require changes in the ring buffer implementation. It
+ * can be changed to a single buffer solution when the ring buffer
+ * access is implemented as non-locking atomic code.
