The ring-buffer is accessed in the NMI handler, so it's better to avoid
faulting on it. Sync the vmalloc range with all page-tables in system to
make sure everyone has it mapped.
This fixes a WARN_ON_ONCE() that can be triggered with PTI enabled on
x86-32:
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/fault.c:320 vmalloc_fault+0x220/0x230
This triggers because with PTI enabled on an PAE kernel the PMDs are no
longer shared between the page-tables, so the vmalloc changes do not
propagate automatically.
Note: Andy said rightfully that we should try to fix the vmalloc code for
that case, but that's not a hot fix for the issue at hand.

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.
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.
