Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is much bigger than typical fixes, but Peter found a category of
races that spurred more fixes and more debugging enhancements. Work
started before the merge window, but got finished only now.
Aside of that this contains the usual small fixes to perf and tools.
Nothing particular exciting"
* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (43 commits)

...
Now that the perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() call has moved from
put_event() into perf_event_release_kernel() the first reason is no
longer valid as that can no longer happen.
The second reason seems to have been invalidated when Al Viro made fput()
unconditionally async in the following commit:
4a9d4b024a ("switch fput to task_work_add")
such that munmap()->fput()->release()->perf_release() would no longer happen.
Therefore, remove the annotation. This should increase the efficiency
of lockdep coverage of perf locking.

There are two concepts of owner wrt an event and they are conflated:
- event::owner / event::owner_list,
used by prctl(.option = PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_{EN,DIS}ABLE).
- the 'owner' of the event object, typically the file descriptor.
Currently these two concepts are conflated, which gives trouble with
scm_rights passing of file descriptors. Passing the event and then
closing the creating task would render the event 'orphan' and would
have it cleared out. Unlikely what is expectd.
This patch untangles these two concepts by using PERF_EVENT_STATE_EXIT
to denote the second type.

There is a race between perf_event_exit_task_context() and
orphans_remove_work() which results in a use-after-free.
We mark ctx->task with TASK_TOMBSTONE to indicate a context is
'dead', under ctx->lock. After which point event_function_call()
on any event of that context will NOP
A concurrent orphans_remove_work() will only hold ctx->mutex for
the list iteration and not serialize against this. Therefore its
possible that orphans_remove_work()'s perf_remove_from_context()
call will fail, but we'll continue to free the event, with the
result of free'd memory still being on lists and everything.
Once perf_event_exit_task_context() gets around to acquiring
ctx->mutex it too will iterate the event list, encounter the
already free'd event and proceed to free it _again_. This fails
with the WARN in free_event().
Plug the race by having perf_event_exit_task_context() hold
ctx::mutex over the whole tear-down, thereby 'naturally'
serializing against all other sites, including the orphan work.

inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).
Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

There is a race against perf_event_exit_task() vs
event_function_call(),find_get_context(),perf_install_in_context()
(iow, everyone).
Since there is no permanent marker on a context that its dead, it is
quite possible that we access (and even modify) a context after its
passed through perf_event_exit_task().
For instance, find_get_context() might find the context still
installed, but by the time we get to perf_install_in_context() it
might already have passed through perf_event_exit_task() and be
considered dead, we will however still add the event to it.
Solve this by marking a ctx dead by setting its ctx->task value to -1,
it must be !0 so we still know its a (former) task context.

There is one common bug left in all the event_function_call() users,
between loading ctx->task and getting to the remote_function(),
ctx->task can already have been changed.
Therefore we need to double check and retry if ctx->task != current.
Insert another trampoline specific to event_function_call() that
checks for this and further validates state. This also allows getting
rid of the active/inactive functions.

There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling
hooks.
Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every
__perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we
disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that
are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set.
This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active
condition basically indefinitely.
Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do
not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially
follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive
and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless.
This leaves two places that need attention (and already had
accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without
recognising this actual problem).
Namely:
- perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events
in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for
its IPIs.
- perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive
when it removes the last event.
For specific detail, see the patch/comments.

There are two problems with the current perf_enable_on_exec() event
scheduling:
- the newly enabled events will be immediately scheduled
irrespective of their ctx event list order.
- there's a hole in the ctx->lock between scheduling the events
out and putting them back on.
Esp. the latter issue is a real problem because a hole in event
scheduling leaves the thing in an observable inconsistent state,
confusing things.
Fix both issues by first doing the enable iteration and at the end,
when there are newly enabled events, reschedule the ctx in one go.
