perf/aux: Fix tracking of auxiliary trace buffer allocation
The following commit from the v5.4 merge window: d44248a41337 ("perf/core: Rework memory accounting in perf_mmap()") ... breaks auxiliary trace buffer tracking. If I run command 'perf record -e rbd000' to record samples and saving them in the **auxiliary** trace buffer then the value of 'locked_vm' becomes negative after all trace buffers have been allocated and released: During allocation the values increase: [52.250027] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x87 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250115] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x107 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250251] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x188 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250326] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x208 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250441] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x289 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250498] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x309 pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250613] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x38a pinned_vm:0x0 ret:0 [52.250715] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x2 ret:0 [52.250834] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x83 ret:0 [52.250915] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x103 ret:0 [52.251061] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x184 ret:0 [52.251146] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x204 ret:0 [52.251299] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x285 ret:0 [52.251383] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x305 ret:0 [52.251544] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x386 ret:0 [52.251634] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x406 ret:0 [52.253018] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x487 ret:0 [52.253197] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x508 ret:0 [52.253374] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x589 ret:0 [52.253550] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x60a ret:0 [52.253726] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x68b ret:0 [52.253903] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x70c ret:0 [52.254084] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x78d ret:0 [52.254263] perf_mmap user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x80e ret:0 The value of user->locked_vm increases to a limit then the memory is tracked by pinned_vm. During deallocation the size is subtracted from pinned_vm until it hits a limit. Then a larger value is subtracted from locked_vm leading to a large number (because of type unsigned): [64.267797] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x78d [64.267826] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x70c [64.267848] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x68b [64.267869] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x60a [64.267891] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x589 [64.267911] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x508 [64.267933] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x487 [64.267952] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x408 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.268883] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x307 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.269117] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x206 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.269433] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x105 pinned_vm:0x406 [64.269536] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0x4 pinned_vm:0x404 [64.269797] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xffffffffffffff84 pinned_vm:0x303 [64.270105] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xffffffffffffff04 pinned_vm:0x202 [64.270374] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xfffffffffffffe84 pinned_vm:0x101 [64.270628] perf_mmap_close mmap_user->locked_vm:0xfffffffffffffe04 pinned_vm:0x0 This value sticks for the user until system is rebooted, causing follow-on system calls using locked_vm resource limit to fail. Note: There is no issue using the normal trace buffer. In fact the issue is in perf_mmap_close(). During allocation auxiliary trace buffer memory is either traced as 'extra' and added to 'pinned_vm' or trace as 'user_extra' and added to 'locked_vm'. This applies for normal trace buffers and auxiliary trace buffer. However in function perf_mmap_close() all auxiliary trace buffer is subtraced from 'locked_vm' and never from 'pinned_vm'. This breaks the ballance.
