Johannes Berg 7452014470 um: Silence lockdep complaint about mmap_sem
[ Upstream commit 80bf6ceaf9 ]

When we get into activate_mm(), lockdep complains that we're doing
something strange:

    WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
    5.1.0-10252-gb00152307319-dirty #121 Not tainted
    ------------------------------------------------------
    inside.sh/366 is trying to acquire lock:
    (____ptrval____) (&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock){+.+.}, at: flush_old_exec+0x703/0x8d7

    but task is already holding lock:
    (____ptrval____) (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: flush_old_exec+0x6c5/0x8d7

    which lock already depends on the new lock.

    the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

    -> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}:
           [...]
           __lock_acquire+0x12ab/0x139f
           lock_acquire+0x155/0x18e
           down_write+0x3f/0x98
           flush_old_exec+0x748/0x8d7
           load_elf_binary+0x2ca/0xddb
           [...]

    -> #0 (&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock){+.+.}:
           [...]
           __lock_acquire+0x12ab/0x139f
           lock_acquire+0x155/0x18e

           load_elf_binary+0x2ca/0xddb
           [...]

    other info that might help us debug this:

     Possible unsafe locking scenario:

           CPU0                    CPU1
           ----                    ----
      lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
                                   lock(&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock);
                                   lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
      lock(&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock);

I think it's because in exec_mmap() we have

	down_read(&old_mm->mmap_sem);
...
        task_lock(tsk);
...
	activate_mm(active_mm, mm);
	(which does down_write(&mm->mmap_sem))

I'm not really sure why lockdep throws in the whole knowledge
about the task lock, but it seems that old_mm and mm shouldn't
ever be the same (and it doesn't deadlock) so tell lockdep that
they're different.
