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.
