Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar: "A kprobes and a perf compat ioctl fix" * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: perf: Handle compat ioctl kprobes: Skip kretprobe hit in NMI context to avoid deadlock
When running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel (eg. i386 application on x86_64 kernel or 32-bit arm userspace on arm64 kernel) some of the perf ioctls must be treated with special care, as they have a pointer size encoded in the command. For example, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID in 32-bit world will be encoded as 0x80042407, but 64-bit kernel will expect 0x80082407. In result the ioctl will fail returning -ENOTTY. This patch solves the problem by adding code fixing up the size as compat_ioctl file operation.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and
reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of
charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed
entirely after this series.
Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup (i.e.
executing in the root memcg). Before:
15.36% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string
13.31% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
11.48% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_mpage_readpage
4.23% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_page_from_freelist
2.38% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] put_page

1.86% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __radix_tree_lookup
1.62% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __pagevec_lru_add_fn
After:
15.67% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string
13.48% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
11.42% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_mpage_readpage
3.98% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_page_from_freelist
2.46% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] put_page

1.39% kswapd0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] free_pcppages_bulk
1.30% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree
As you can see, the memcg footprint has shrunk quite a bit.

This patch (of 4):
The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e. have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on. Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.
Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:
mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
pages from the memcg if necessary.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.
This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.
As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again. Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

The following patch added another way to get mmap name: 78d683e838a6
("mm, fs: Add vm_ops->name as an alternative to arch_vma_name")
The vdso vma mapping already switch to this and we no longer get vdso
name via arch_vma_name function. Adding this way to the perf mmap
event name retrieval code.
Caught this via perf test:
$ sudo ./perf test -v 7

PERF_RECORD_MMAP for [vdso] missing!

Urgh.. so the only way I can make that happen is through:
perf_event_exit_task_context()
raw_spin_lock(&child_ctx->lock);
unclone_ctx(child_ctx)
put_ctx(ctx->parent_ctx);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&child_ctx->lock);
And we can avoid this by doing the change below.
I can't immediately see how this changed recently, but given that you
say it's easy to reproduce, lets fix this.

Vince reported that commit 15a2d4de0eab5 ("perf: Always destroy groups
on exit") causes a regression with grouped events. In particular his
read_group_attached.c test fails.
https://github.com/deater/perf_event_tests/blob/master/tests/bugs/read_group_attached.c
Because of the context switch optimization in
perf_event_context_sched_out() the 'original' event may end up in the
child process and when that exits the change in the patch in question
destroys the actual grouping.
Therefore revert that change and only destroy inherited groups.
