Peter Zijlstra bfe334924c perf/x86: Fix RDPMC vs. mm_struct tracking
Vince reported the following rdpmc() testcase failure:

 > 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

The problem is of course that exec() plays tricks with what is
current->mm, only destroying the old mappings after having
installed the new mm.

Fix this confusion by passing along vma->vm_mm instead of relying on
current->mm.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
