    perf/core: Free AUX pages in unmap path · 95ff4ca2
    Alexander Shishkin 提交于
    Now that we can ensure that when ring buffer's AUX area is on the way
    to getting unmapped new transactions won't start, we only need to stop
    all events that can potentially be writing aux data to our ring buffer.
    
    Having done that, we can safely free the AUX pages and corresponding
    PMU data, as this time it is guaranteed to be the last aux reference
    holder.
    
    This partially reverts:
    
      57ffc5ca ("perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting")
    
    ... which was made to defer deallocation that was otherwise possible
    from an NMI context. Now it is no longer the case; the last call to
    rb_free_aux() that drops the last AUX reference has to happen in
    perf_mmap_close() on that AUX area.
