uprobes: Kill uprobes_state->count
uprobes_state->count is only needed to avoid the slow path in
uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier(). It is also checked in uprobe_munmap()
but ironically its only goal to decrement this counter. However,
it is very broken. Just some examples:
- uprobe_mmap() can race with uprobe_unregister() and wrongly
increment the counter if it hits the non-uprobe "int3". Note
that install_breakpoint() checks ->consumers first and returns
-EEXIST if it is NULL.
"atomic_sub() if error" in uprobe_mmap() looks obviously wrong
too.
- uprobe_munmap() can race with uprobe_register() and wrongly
decrement the counter by the same reason.
- Suppose an appication tries to increase the mmapped area via
sys_mremap(). vma_adjust() does uprobe_munmap(whole_vma) first,
this can nullify the counter temporarily and race with another
thread which can hit the bp, the application will be killed by
SIGTRAP.
- Suppose an application mmaps 2 consecutive areas in the same file
and one (or both) of these areas has uprobes. In the likely case
mmap_region()->vma_merge() suceeds. Like above, this leads to
uprobe_munmap/uprobe_mmap from vma_merge()->vma_adjust() but then
mmap_region() does another uprobe_mmap(resulting_vma) and doubles
the counter.
This patch only removes this counter and fixes the compile errors,
then we will try to cleanup the changed code and add something else
instead.
