  * Debug Store support
  *
  * This provides a low-level interface to the hardware's Debug Store
- * feature that is used for last branch recording (LBR) and
+ * feature that is used for branch trace store (BTS) and
  * precise-event based sampling (PEBS).
  *
- * Different architectures use a different DS layout/pointer size.
- * The below functions therefore work on a void*.
+ * It manages:
+ * - per-thread and per-cpu allocation of BTS and PEBS
+ * - buffer memory allocation (optional)
+ * - buffer overflow handling
+ * - buffer access
  *
+ * It assumes:
+ * - get_task_struct on all parameter tasks
+ * - current is allowed to trace parameter tasks
  *
- * Since there is no user for PEBS, yet, only LBR (or branch
- * trace store, BTS) is supported.

  *
- * On later architectures, the last branch recording hardware uses
- * 64bit pointers even in 32bit mode.
- *
- *
- * Branch Trace Store (BTS) records store information about control
- * flow changes. They at least provide the following information:
- * - source linear address
- * - destination linear address
+ * Later architectures use 64bit pointers throughout, whereas earlier
+ * architectures use 32bit pointers in 32bit mode.
  *
- * Netburst supported a predicated bit that had been dropped in later
- * architectures. We do not suppor it.
  *
+ * We compute the base address for the first 8 fields based on:
+ * - the field size stored in the DS configuration
+ * - the relative field position
+ * - an offset giving the start of the respective region
  *
- * In order to abstract from the actual DS and BTS layout, we describe
- * the access to the relevant fields.
- * Thanks to Andi Kleen for proposing this design.
+ * This offset is further used to index various arrays holding
+ * information for BTS and PEBS at the respective index.
  *
- * The implementation, however, is not as general as it might seem. In
- * order to stay somewhat simple and efficient, we assume an
- * underlying unsigned type (mostly a pointer type) and we expect the
- * field to be at least as big as that type.
+ * On later 32bit processors, we only access the lower 32bit of the
+ * 64bit pointer fields. The upper halves will be zeroed out.
