Thomas Richter 5e6c3c7b1e perf/aux: Fix tracking of auxiliary trace buffer allocation 
The following commit from the v5.4 merge window:

  d44248a413 ("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

  [52.254263] 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

  [64.269433] 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.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
