Current implementation uses a private buffer for cpumf to dump samples. Samples first go to this buffer. Then copy to ring buffer allocated by perf core. With AUX buffer, this copy is not needed. AUX buffer is shared and zero-copy mapped to user space. The trailer information at the end of each SDB(sample data block) is also exported to user space. AUX buffer is used when diagnostic sampling mode is enabled. This patch contains functions to setup/free AUX buffer or to begin/end sampling per-cpu. Also include function called in interrupt to collect samples.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
