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.
