Alexander Shishkin 45c815f06b perf: Synchronously free aux pages in case of allocation failure ... We are currently using asynchronous deallocation in the error path in AUX mmap code, which is unnecessary and also presents a problem for users that wish to probe for the biggest possible buffer size they can get: they'll get -EINVAL on all subsequent attemts to allocate a smaller buffer before the asynchronous deallocation callback frees up the pages from the previous unsuccessful attempt. Currently, gdb does that for allocating AUX buffers for Intel PT traces. More specifically, overwrite mode of AUX pmus that don't support hardware sg (some implementations of Intel PT, for instance) is limited to only one contiguous high order allocation for its buffer and there is no way of knowing its size without trying. This patch changes error path freeing to be synchronous as there won't be any contenders for the AUX pages at that point.
