Alexander Shishkin 83e561d6cc perf/core: Fix the mlock accounting, again
[ Upstream commit 36b3db03b4741b8935b68fffc7e69951d8d70a89 ]

Commit:

  5e6c3c7b1e ("perf/aux: Fix tracking of auxiliary trace buffer allocation")

tried to guess the correct combination of arithmetic operations that would
undo the AUX buffer's mlock accounting, and failed, leaking the bottom part
when an allocation needs to be charged partially to both user->locked_vm
and mm->pinned_vm, eventually leaving the user with no locked bonus:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -m1,128 uname
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.061 MB perf.data ]

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -m1,128 uname
  Permission error mapping pages.
  Consider increasing /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb,
  or try again with a smaller value of -m/--mmap_pages.
  (current value: 1,128)

Fix this by subtracting both locked and pinned counts when AUX buffer is
unmapped.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
