* Debug Store (DS) 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.
*
