The main PELT function ___update_load_avg(), which implements the
accumulation and progression of the geometric average series, is
implemented along the following lines for the scenario where the time
delta spans all 3 possible sections (see figure below):
1. add the remainder of the last incomplete period
2. decay old sum
3. accumulate new sum in full periods since last_update_time
4. accumulate the current incomplete period
5. update averages
Or:
d1 d2 d3

load_sum' = (load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) + (1,2)
p
weight * scale * 1024 * \Sum y^n + (3)
n=1
weight * scale * d3 * y^0 (4)
load_avg' = load_sum' / LOAD_AVG_MAX (5)
Where:
d1 - is the delta part completing the remainder of the last
incomplete period,
d2 - is the delta part spannind complete periods, and
d3 - is the delta part starting the current incomplete period.
We can simplify the code in two steps; the first step is to separate
the first term into new and old parts like:
(load_sum + weight * scale * d1) * y^(p+1) = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * d1 * y^(p+1)
Once we've done that, its easy to see that all new terms carry the
common factors:
weight * scale
If we factor those out, we arrive at the form:
load_sum' = load_sum * y^(p+1) +
weight * scale * (d1 * y^(p+1) +
p
1024 * \Sum y^n +
n=1
d3 * y^0)
Which results in a simpler, smaller and faster implementation.

The __update_load_avg() function is an __always_inline because its
used with constant propagation to generate different variants of the
code without having to duplicate it (which would be prone to bugs).
Explicitly instantiate the 3 variants.
Note that most of this is called from rather hot paths, so reducing
branches is good.

Commit 5b52330bbfe6 ("audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state
tracking") made inlining audit_signal_info() a bit pointless as
it was always calling into auditd_test_task() so let's remove the
inline function in kernel/audit.h and convert __audit_signal_info()
in kernel/auditsc.c into audit_signal_info().

When it is determined that the clock is actually unstable, and
we switch from stable to unstable, the __clear_sched_clock_stable()
function is eventually called.
In this function we set gtod_offset so the following holds true:
sched_clock() + raw_offset == ktime_get_ns() + gtod_offset
But instead of getting the latest timestamps, we use the last values
from scd, so instead of sched_clock() we use scd->tick_raw, and
instead of ktime_get_ns() we use scd->tick_gtod.
However, later, when we use gtod_offset sched_clock_local() we do not
add it to scd->tick_gtod to calculate the correct clock value when we
determine the boundaries for min/max clocks.
This can result in tick granularity sched_clock() values, so fix it.

If the child domain prefers tasks to go siblings, the local group could
end up pulling tasks to itself even if the local group is almost equally
loaded as the source group.
Lets assume a 4 core,smt==2 machine running 5 thread ebizzy workload.
Everytime, local group has capacity and source group has atleast 2 threads,
local group tries to pull the task. This causes the threads to constantly
move between different cores. This is even more profound if the cores have
more threads, like in Power 8, smt 8 mode.
Fix this by only allowing local group to pull a task, if the source group
has more number of tasks than the local group.
Here are the relevant perf stat numbers of a 22 core,smt 8 Power 8 machine.

Since commit 383776fa7527 ("locking/lockdep: Handle statically initialized
PER_CPU locks properly") we try to collapse per-cpu locks into a single
class by giving them all the same key. For this key we choose the canonical
address of the per-cpu object, which would be the offset into the per-cpu
area.
This has two problems:
- there is a case where we run !0 lock->key through static_obj() and
expect this to pass; it doesn't for canonical pointers.
- 0 is a valid canonical address.
Cure both issues by redefining the canonical address as the address of the
per-cpu variable on the boot CPU.
Since I didn't want to rely on CPU0 being the boot-cpu, or even existing at
all, track the boot CPU in a variable.

llvm can optimize the 'if (ptr > data_end)' checks to be in the order
slightly different than the original C code which will confuse verifier.
Like:
if (ptr + 16 > data_end)
return TC_ACT_SHOT;
// may be followed by
if (ptr + 14 > data_end)
return TC_ACT_SHOT;
while llvm can see that 'ptr' is valid for all 16 bytes,
the verifier could not.

[87487.361084] [<ffffffff99ef0055>] padata_do_serial+0xa5/0x120
padata_reorder calls list_add_tail with the list to which its adding
locked, which seems correct:
spin_lock(&squeue->serial.lock);
list_add_tail(&padata->list, &squeue->serial.list);
spin_unlock(&squeue->serial.lock);
This therefore leaves only place where such inconsistency could occur:
if padata->list is added at the same time on two different threads.
This pdata pointer comes from the function call to
padata_get_next(pd), which has in it the following block:
next_queue = per_cpu_ptr(pd->pqueue, cpu);
padata = NULL;
reorder = &next_queue->reorder;
if (!list_empty(&reorder->list)) {
padata = list_entry(reorder->list.next,
struct padata_priv, list);
spin_lock(&reorder->lock);
list_del_init(&padata->list);
atomic_dec(&pd->reorder_objects);
spin_unlock(&reorder->lock);
pd->processed++;
goto out;
}
out:
return padata;
I strongly suspect that the problem here is that two threads can race
on reorder list. Even though the deletion is locked, call to
list_entry is not locked, which means it's feasible that two threads
pick up the same padata object and subsequently call list_add_tail on
them at the same time. The fix is thus be hoist that lock outside of
that block.

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"One of these is an intel_pstate regression fix and it is not a small
change, but it mostly removes code that shouldn't be there. That code
was acquired by mistake and has been a source of constant pain since
then, so the time has come to get rid of it finally. We have not seen
problems with this change in the lab, so fingers crossed.
The rest is more usual: one more intel_pstate commit removing useless
code, a cpufreq core fix to make it restore policy limits on CPU
online (which prevents the limits from being reset over system
suspend/resume), a schedutil cpufreq governor initialization fix to
make it actually work as advertised on all systems and an extra sanity
check in the cpuidle core to prevent crashes from happening if the
arch code messes things up.
Specifics:
- Make intel_pstate use one set of global P-state limits in the
active mode regardless of the scaling_governor settings for
individual CPUs instead of switching back and forth between two of
them in a way that is hard to control (Rafael Wysocki).
- Drop a useless function from intel_pstate to prevent it from
modifying the maximum supported frequency value unexpectedly which
may confuse the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix the cpufreq core to restore policy limits on CPU online so that
the limits are not reset over system suspend/resume, among other
things (Viresh Kumar).
- Fix the initialization of the schedutil cpufreq governor to make
the IO-wait boosting mechanism in it actually work on systems with
one CPU per cpufreq policy (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add a sanity check to the cpuidle core to prevent crashes from
happening if the architecture code initialization fails to set up
things as expected (Vaidyanathan Srinivasan)"

sugov_update_commit() calls trace_cpu_frequency() to record the
current CPU frequency if it has not changed in the fast switch case
to prevent utilities from getting confused (they may report that the
CPU is idle if the frequency has not been recorded for too long, for
example).
However, that may cause the tracepoint to be triggered quite often
for no real reason (if the frequency doesn't change, we will not
modify the last update time stamp and governor computations may
run again shortly when that happens), so don't do that (arguably, it
is done to work around a utilities bug anyway).
That allows code duplication in sugov_update_commit() to be reduced
somewhat too.

On systems with a large number of CPUs, running sysrq-<q> can cause
watchdog timeouts. There are two slow sections of code in the sysrq-<q>
path in timer_list.c.
1. print_active_timers() - This function is called by print_cpu() and
contains a slow goto loop. On a machine with hundreds of CPUs, this
loop took approximately 100ms for the first CPU in a NUMA node.
(Subsequent CPUs in the same node ran much quicker.) The total time
to print all of the CPUs is ultimately long enough to trigger the
soft lockup watchdog.
2. print_tickdevice() - This function outputs a large amount of textual
information. This function also took approximately 100ms per CPU.
Since sysrq-<q> is not a performance critical path, there should be no
harm in touching the nmi watchdog in both slow sections above. Touching
it in just one location was insufficient on systems with hundreds of
CPUs as occasional timeouts were still observed during testing.
This issue was observed on an Oracle T7 machine with 128 CPUs, but I
anticipate it may affect other systems with similarly large numbers of
CPUs.

The scheduler clock framework may not use the correct timeout for the clock
wrap. This happens when a new clock driver calls sched_clock_register()
after the kernel called sched_clock_postinit(). In this case the clock wrap
timeout is too long thus sched_clock_poll() is called too late and the clock
already wrapped.
On my ARM system the scheduler was no longer scheduling any other task than
the idle task because the sched_clock() wrapped.

A clockevent device's rate should be configured before or at registration
and changed afterwards through clockevents_update_freq() only.
For the configuration at registration, we already have
clockevents_config_and_register().
Right now, there are no clockevents_config() users outside of the
clockevents core.
To mitigiate the risk of drivers errorneously reconfiguring their rates
through clockevents_config() *after* device registration, make
clockevents_config() static.

When PREEMPT_RT_FULL does the spinlock -> rt_mutex substitution the PI
chain code will (falsely) report a deadlock and BUG.
The problem is that it hold hb->lock (now an rt_mutex) while doing
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex on the futex's pi_state::rtmutex. This, when
interleaved just right with futex_unlock_pi() leads it to believe to see an
AB-BA deadlock.
Task1 (holds rt_mutex, Task2 (does FUTEX_LOCK_PI)
does FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI)
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex (as per start_proxy)
lock hb->lock
Which is a trivial AB-BA.
It is not an actual deadlock, because it won't be holding hb->lock by the
time it actually blocks on the rt_mutex, but the chainwalk code doesn't
know that and it would be a nightmare to handle this gracefully.
To avoid this problem, do the same as in futex_unlock_pi() and drop
hb->lock after acquiring wait_lock. This still fully serializes against
futex_unlock_pi(), since adding to the wait_list does the very same lock
dance, and removing it holds both locks.
Aside of solving the RT problem this makes the lock and unlock mechanism
symetric and reduces the hb->lock held time.

The problem with returning -EAGAIN when the waiter state mismatches is that
it becomes very hard to proof a bounded execution time on the
operation. And seeing that this is a RT operation, this is somewhat
important.
While in practise; given the previous patch; it will be very unlikely to
ever really take more than one or two rounds, proving so becomes rather
hard.
However, now that modifying wait_list is done while holding both hb->lock
and wait_lock, the scenario can be avoided entirely by acquiring wait_lock
while still holding hb-lock. Doing a hand-over, without leaving a hole.

By changing futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock() all wait_list
modifications are done under both hb->lock and wait_lock.
This closes the obvious interleave pattern between futex_lock_pi() and
futex_unlock_pi(), but not entirely so. See below:
Before:
futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi()
unlock hb->lock
lock hb->lock
unlock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock
-EAGAIN
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_add
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
schedule()
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_del
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
<idem>
-EAGAIN
lock hb->lock
After:
futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi()
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_add
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock hb->lock
schedule()
lock hb->lock
unlock hb->lock
lock hb->lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
list_del
unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock
lock rt_mutex->wait_lock
unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock
-EAGAIN
unlock hb->lock
It does however solve the earlier starvation/live-lock scenario which got
introduced with the -EAGAIN since unlike the before scenario; where the
-EAGAIN happens while futex_unlock_pi() doesn't hold any locks; in the
after scenario it happens while futex_unlock_pi() actually holds a lock,
and then it is serialized on that lock.

With the ultimate goal of keeping rt_mutex wait_list and futex_q waiters
consistent it's necessary to split 'rt_mutex_futex_lock()' into finer
parts, such that only the actual blocking can be done without hb->lock
held.
Split split_mutex_finish_proxy_lock() into two parts, one that does the
blocking and one that does remove_waiter() when the lock acquire failed.
When the rtmutex was acquired successfully the waiter can be removed in the
acquisiton path safely, since there is no concurrency on the lock owner.
This means that, except for futex_lock_pi(), all wait_list modifications
are done with both hb->lock and wait_lock held.

There's a number of 'interesting' problems, all caused by holding
hb->lock while doing the rt_mutex_unlock() equivalient.
Notably:
- a PI inversion on hb->lock; and,
- a SCHED_DEADLINE crash because of pointer instability.
The previous changes:
- changed the locking rules to cover {uval,pi_state} with wait_lock.
- allow to do rt_mutex_futex_unlock() without dropping wait_lock; which in
turn allows to rely on wait_lock atomicity completely.
- simplified the waiter conundrum.
It's now sufficient to hold rtmutex::wait_lock and a reference on the
pi_state to protect the state consistency, so hb->lock can be dropped
before calling rt_mutex_futex_unlock().

There is a weird state in the futex_unlock_pi() path when it interleaves
with a concurrent futex_lock_pi() at the point where it drops hb->lock.
In this case, it can happen that the rt_mutex wait_list and the futex_q
disagree on pending waiters, in particular rt_mutex will find no pending
waiters where futex_q thinks there are. In this case the rt_mutex unlock
code cannot assign an owner.
The futex side fixup code has to cleanup the inconsistencies with quite a
bunch of interesting corner cases.
Simplify all this by changing wake_futex_pi() to return -EAGAIN when this
situation occurs. This then gives the futex_lock_pi() code the opportunity
to continue and the retried futex_unlock_pi() will now observe a coherent
state.
The only problem is that this breaks RT timeliness guarantees. That
is, consider the following scenario:
T1 and T2 are both pinned to CPU0. prio(T2) > prio(T1)
CPU0
T1
lock_pi()
queue_me() <- Waiter is visible
preemption
T2
unlock_pi()
loops with -EAGAIN forever
Which is undesirable for PI primitives. Future patches will rectify
this.

Currently futex-pi relies on hb->lock to serialize everything. But hb->lock
creates another set of problems, especially priority inversions on RT where
hb->lock becomes a rt_mutex itself.
The rt_mutex::wait_lock is the most obvious protection for keeping the
futex user space value and the kernel internal pi_state in sync.
Rework and document the locking so rt_mutex::wait_lock is held accross all
operations which modify the user space value and the pi state.
This allows to invoke rt_mutex_unlock() (including deboost) without holding
hb->lock as a next step.
Nothing yet relies on the new locking rules.

Part of what makes futex_unlock_pi() intricate is that
rt_mutex_futex_unlock() -> rt_mutex_slowunlock() can drop
rt_mutex::wait_lock.
This means it cannot rely on the atomicy of wait_lock, which would be
preferred in order to not rely on hb->lock so much.
The reason rt_mutex_slowunlock() needs to drop wait_lock is because it can
race with the rt_mutex fastpath, however futexes have their own fast path.
Since futexes already have a bunch of separate rt_mutex accessors, complete
that set and implement a rt_mutex variant without fastpath for them.

A regression of the FTQ noise has been reported by Ying Huang,
on the following hardware:
8 threads Intel(R) Core(TM)i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8G memory
... which was caused by this commit:
commit 4e5160766fcc ("sched/fair: Propagate asynchrous detach")
The only part of the patch that can increase the noise is the update
of blocked load of group entity in update_blocked_averages().
We can optimize this call and skip the update of group entity if its load
and utilization are already null and there is no pending propagation of load
in the task group.
This optimization partly restores the noise score. A more agressive
optimization has been tried but has shown worse score.

The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to
underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases.
That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on
a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with
it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
register. Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs
were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum
P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case.
The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are
requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after
a while again. That causes the actual frequency of the processor to
visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion
which clearly is not desirable.
That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task
migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be
reduced by the utilization of the migrated task. If that happens,
the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will
attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away. That
may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally
busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that
CPU already.
This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are
shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy
utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values
over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the
frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway. On
systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance
adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases.
On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization
metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose
frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if
that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future
and its frequency should not be reduced.
To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code.
Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the
current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced.
If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the
governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all
that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new
frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor
will skip the frequency update.

In both kmalloc and prealloc mode the bpf_map_update_elem() is using
per-cpu extra_elems to do atomic update when the map is full.
There are two issues with it. The logic can be misused, since it allows
max_entries+num_cpus elements to be present in the map. And alloc_extra_elems()
at map creation time can fail percpu alloc for large map values with a warn:
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2752 at ../mm/percpu.c:892 pcpu_alloc+0x119/0xa60
illegal size (32824) or align (8) for percpu allocation
The fixes for both of these issues are different for kmalloc and prealloc modes.
For prealloc mode allocate extra num_possible_cpus elements and store
their pointers into extra_elems array instead of actual elements.
Hence we can use these hidden(spare) elements not only when the map is full
but during bpf_map_update_elem() that replaces existing element too.
That also improves performance, since pcpu_freelist_pop/push is avoided.
Unfortunately this approach cannot be used for kmalloc mode which needs
to kfree elements after rcu grace period. Therefore switch it back to normal
kmalloc even when full and old element exists like it was prior to
commit 6c9059817432 ("bpf: pre-allocate hash map elements").
Add tests to check for over max_entries and large map values.

What started as a rather straightforward race condition reported by
Dmitry using the syzkaller fuzzer ended up revealing some major
problems with how the audit subsystem managed its netlink sockets and
its connection with the userspace audit daemon. Fixing this properly
had quite the cascading effect and what we are left with is this rather
large and complicated patch. My initial goal was to try and decompose
this patch into multiple smaller patches, but the way these changes
are intertwined makes it difficult to split these changes into
meaningful pieces that don't break or somehow make things worse for
the intermediate states.
The patch makes a number of changes, but the most significant are
highlighted below:
* The auditd tracking variables, e.g. audit_sock, are now gone and
replaced by a RCU/spin_lock protected variable auditd_conn which is
a structure containing all of the auditd tracking information.
* We no longer track the auditd sock directly, instead we track it
via the network namespace in which it resides and we use the audit
socket associated with that namespace. In spirit, this is what the
code was trying to do prior to this patch (at least I think that is
what the original authors intended), but it was done rather poorly
and added a layer of obfuscation that only masked the underlying
problems.
* Big backlog queue cleanup, again. In v4.10 we made some pretty big
changes to how the audit backlog queues work, here we haven't changed
the queue design so much as cleaned up the implementation. Brought
about by the locking changes, we've simplified kauditd_thread() quite
a bit by consolidating the queue handling into a new helper function,
kauditd_send_queue(), which allows us to eliminate a lot of very
similar code and makes the looping logic in kauditd_thread() clearer.
* All netlink messages sent to auditd are now sent via
auditd_send_unicast_skb(). Other than just making sense, this makes
the lock handling easier.
* Change the audit_log_start() sleep behavior so that we never sleep
on auditd events (unchanged) or if the caller is holding the
audit_cmd_mutex (changed). Previously we didn't sleep if the caller
was auditd or if the message type fell between a certain range; the
type check was a poor effort of doing what the cmd_mutex check now
does. Richard Guy Briggs originally proposed not sleeping the
cmd_mutex owner several years ago but his patch wasn't acceptable
at the time. At least the idea lives on here.
* A problem with the lost record counter has been resolved. Steve
Grubb and I both happened to notice this problem and according to
some quick testing by Steve, this problem goes back quite some time.
It's largely a harmless problem, although it may have left some
careful sysadmins quite puzzled.

non-root cgroups
Creation of a kthread goes through a couple interlocked stages between
the kthread itself and its creator. Once the new kthread starts
running, it initializes itself and wakes up the creator. The creator
then can further configure the kthread and then let it start doing its
job by waking it up.
In this configuration-by-creator stage, the creator is the only one
that can wake it up but the kthread is visible to userland. When
altering the kthread's attributes from userland is allowed, this is
fine; however, for cases where CPU affinity is critical,
kthread_bind() is used to first disable affinity changes from userland
and then set the affinity. This also prevents the kthread from being
migrated into non-root cgroups as that can affect the CPU affinity and
many other things.
Unfortunately, the cgroup side of protection is racy. While the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag prevents further migrations, userland can win
the race before the creator sets the flag with kthread_bind() and put
the kthread in a non-root cgroup, which can lead to all sorts of
problems including incorrect CPU affinity and starvation.
This bug got triggered by userland which periodically tries to migrate
all processes in the root cpuset cgroup to a non-root one. Per-cpu
workqueue workers got caught while being created and ended up with
incorrected CPU affinity breaking concurrency management and sometimes
stalling workqueue execution.
This patch adds task->no_cgroup_migration which disallows the task to
be migrated by userland. kthreadd starts with the flag set making
every child kthread start in the root cgroup with migration
disallowed. The flag is cleared after the kthread finishes
initialization by which time PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set if the kthread
should stay in the root cgroup.
It'd be better to wait for the initialization instead of failing but I
couldn't think of a way of implementing that without adding either a
new PF flag, or sleeping and retrying from waiting side. Even if
userland depends on changing cgroup membership of a kthread, it either
has to be synchronized with kthread_create() or periodically repeat,
so it's unlikely that this would break anything.

Commit bfc8c90139eb ("mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems")
introduced new functions get/put_online_mems() and mem_hotplug_begin/end()
in order to allow similar semantics for memory hotplug like for cpu
hotplug.
The corresponding functions for cpu hotplug are get/put_online_cpus()
and cpu_hotplug_begin/done() for cpu hotplug.
The commit however missed to introduce functions that would serialize
memory hotplug operations like they are done for cpu hotplug with
cpu_maps_update_begin/done().
This basically leaves mem_hotplug.active_writer unprotected and allows
concurrent writers to modify it, which may lead to problems as outlined
by commit f931ab479dd2 ("mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use
mem_hotplug_{begin, done}").
That commit was extended again with commit b5d24fda9c3d ("mm,
devm_memremap_pages: hold device_hotplug lock over mem_hotplug_{begin,
done}") which serializes memory hotplug operations for some call sites
by using the device_hotplug lock.
In addition with commit 3fc21924100b ("mm: validate device_hotplug is held
for memory hotplug") a sanity check was added to mem_hotplug_begin() to
verify that the device_hotplug lock is held.
This in turn triggers the following warning on s390:
WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 1 at drivers/base/core.c:643 assert_held_device_hotplug+0x4a/0x58
Call Trace:
assert_held_device_hotplug+0x40/0x58)

kernel_thread_starter+0x6/0xc
One possible fix would be to add more lock_device_hotplug() and
unlock_device_hotplug() calls around each call site of
mem_hotplug_begin/end(). But that would give the device_hotplug lock
additional semantics it better should not have (serialize memory hotplug
operations).
Instead add a new memory_add_remove_lock which has the similar semantics
like cpu_add_remove_lock for cpu hotplug.
To keep things hopefully a bit easier the lock will be locked and unlocked
within the mem_hotplug_begin/end() functions.

While going through the event inheritance code Oleg got confused.
Add some comments to better explain the silent dissapearance of
orphaned events.
So what happens is that at perf_event_release_kernel() time; when an
event looses its connection to userspace (and ceases to exist from the
user's perspective) we can still have an arbitrary amount of inherited
copies of the event. We want to synchronously find and remove all
these child events.
Since that requires a bit of lock juggling, there is the possibility
that concurrent clone()s will create new child events. Therefore we
first mark the parent event as DEAD, which marks all the extant child
events as orphaned.
We then avoid copying orphaned events; in order to avoid getting more
of them.
