Linus Torvalds adf12a394c Perf fixes for perf_mmap() reference counting to prevent potential
reference count leaks which are caused by:
 
  - VMA splits, which change the offset or size of a mapping, which causes
    perf_mmap_close() to ignore the unmap or unmap the wrong buffer.
 
  - Several internal issues of perf_mmap(), which can cause reference count
    leaks in the perf mmap, corrupt accounting or cause leaks in perf
    drivers.
 
 The main fix is to prevent VMA splits by implementing the [may_]split()
 callback for vm operations. The other issues are addressed by rearranging
 code, early returns on failure and invocation of cleanups.
 
 Also provide a selftest to validate the fixes.
 
 The reference counting should be converted to refcount_t, but that requires
 larger refactoring of the code and will be done once these fixes are
 upstream.
