Fabian Grünbichler a70918fbbc restructure patches
rebase on Ubuntu-4.13.0-32.35

the effective kernel tree which gets compiled after patches have been
applied is functionally identical (modulo parts for architectures which
we don't care about and Ubuntu build files)

Subject: [PATCH] x86,perf: Disable intel_bts when PTI
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
commit 99a9dc98ba52267ce5e062b52de88ea1f1b2a7d8 upstream.
The intel_bts driver does not use the 'normal' BTS buffer which is exposed
through the cpu_entry_area but instead uses the memory allocated for the
perf AUX buffer.
This obviously comes apart when using PTI because then the kernel mapping;
which includes that AUX buffer memory; disappears. Fixing this requires to
expose a mapping which is visible in all context and that's not trivial.
As a quick fix disable this driver when PTI is enabled to prevent
malfunction.
