Patch series "Try to release mmap_lock temporarily in smaps_rollup", v4.
Recently, we have observed some janky issues caused by unpleasantly long
contention on mmap_lock which is held by smaps_rollup when probing large
processes. To address the problem, we let smaps_rollup detect if anyone
wants to acquire mmap_lock for write attempts. If yes, just release the
lock temporarily to ease the contention.
smaps_rollup is a procfs interface which allows users to summarize the
process's memory usage without the overhead of seq_* calls. Android uses
it to sample the memory usage of various processes to balance its memory
pool sizes. If no one wants to take the lock for write requests,
smaps_rollup with this patch will behave like the original one.
Although there are on-going mmap_lock optimizations like range-based
locks, the lock applied to smaps_rollup would be the coarse one, which is
hard to avoid the occurrence of aforementioned issues. So the detection
and temporary release for write attempts on mmap_lock in smaps_rollup is
still necessary.
This patch (of 3):
Add new API to query if someone wants to acquire mmap_lock for write
attempts.
Using this instead of rwsem_is_contended makes it more tolerant of future
changes to the lock type.

Rename the mmap_sem field to mmap_lock. Any new uses of this lock should
now go through the new mmap locking api. The mmap_lock is still
implemented as a rwsem, though this could change in the future.

Add new APIs to assert that mmap_sem is held.
Using this instead of rwsem_is_locked and lockdep_assert_held[_write]
makes the assertions more tolerant of future changes to the lock type.

Define a new initializer for the mmap locking api. Initially this just
evaluates to __RWSEM_INITIALIZER as the API is defined as wrappers around
rwsem.

Add a couple APIs used by kernel/bpf/stackmap.c only:
- mmap_read_trylock_non_owner()
- mmap_read_unlock_non_owner() (may be called from a work queue).
It's still not ideal that bpf/stackmap subverts the lock ownership in this
way. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this API as the least-ugly
way of addressing this in the short term.

This patch series adds a new mmap locking API replacing the existing
mmap_sem lock and unlocks. Initially the API is just implemente in terms
of inlined rwsem calls, so it doesn't provide any new functionality.
There are two justifications for the new API:
- At first, it provides an easy hooking point to instrument mmap_sem
locking latencies independently of any other rwsems.
- In the future, it may be a starting point for replacing the rwsem
implementation with a different one, such as range locks. This is
something that is being explored, even though there is no wide concensus
about this possible direction yet. (see
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11401483/)
