Subject: Re: [patch 1/2] x86_64 page fault NMI-safe

Hello,

We can definitely do that but walking whole page table list is too
heavy to do automatically at that level especially when all users
other than NMI would be fine w/ the default lazy approach.  If Linus'
approach doesn't pan out, I think the right thing to do would be
adding a wrapper to vmalloc_sync_all() and let perf code call it after
percpu allocation.

Thanks.
