Andrii Nakryiko 10cdb82aa7 uprobes: turn trace_uprobe's nhit counter to be per-CPU one
trace_uprobe->nhit counter is not incremented atomically, so its value
is questionable in when uprobe is hit on multiple CPUs simultaneously.

Also, doing this shared counter increment across many CPUs causes heavy
cache line bouncing, limiting uprobe/uretprobe performance scaling with
number of CPUs.

Solve both problems by making this a per-CPU counter.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
