    uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmapped · cbc91f71
    Srikar Dronamraju authored
    Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to
    maintain the uprobes count.
    
    In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma().
    However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would
    have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts
    accounted (in zap_pte_range()).
    
    If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if
    the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe
    count.
    
    This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap()
    and hence it does not find the breakpoint.
    
    This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to
    unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the
    complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap().
    
    This bug became apparent courtesy of commit c3f0327f
    
    
    ("mm: add rss counters consistency check").
