Subjectperf: bug in rdpmc/mmap accounting after exec
Hello

so one last bug found by the PAPI testsuite.

This one involves the rdpmc auto-disable on last unmap of an event
feature.

Failing test case:

fd=perf_event_open();
addr=mmap(fd);
exec() // without closing or unmapping the event
fd=perf_event_open();
addr=mmap(fd);
rdpmc() // GPFs due to rdpmc being disabled

I won't pretend to be able to follow the rdpmc disabling code, but if I
add some printks it looks like
current->mm->context.perf_rdpmc_allowed
isn't properly being reset on exec?

In fact, current->mm->context.perf_rdpmc_allowed goes negative which seems
like it shouldn't happen?

Anyway, a test case for this can be found in the perf_event_tests,
tests/rdpmc/rdpmc_exec_papi
