- * Read and write access is using spin locking. Thus, writing to the
- * buffer by NMI handler (x86) could occur also during critical
- * sections when reading the buffer. To avoid this, there are 2
- * buffers for independent read and write access. Read access is in
- * process context only, write access only in the NMI handler. If the
- * read buffer runs empty, both buffers are swapped atomically. There
- * is potentially a small window during swapping where the buffers are
- * disabled and samples could be lost.
- *
- * Using 2 buffers is a little bit overhead, but the solution is clear
- * and does not require changes in the ring buffer implementation. It
- * can be changed to a single buffer solution when the ring buffer
- * access is implemented as non-locking atomic code.
