The CPU Measurement Sampling Facility (CPUM_SF) installs large buffers to save samples collected by hardware. These buffers are organized as Sample Data Buffer Tables (SDBT) and Sample Data Buffers (SDB). SDBs contain the samples which are extracted and saved in the perf ring buffer. The SDBTs are chained using real addresses and refer to SDBs using real addresses. Adds proper virtual to phyiscal address translation to the buffer chaining. The current constraint which requires virtual equals real address layout is removed.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
