Given filp_cachep is marked SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU (and FMODE_BACKING
files, a special case, now goes through RCU-delated freeing), we can
safely access vma->vm_file->f_inode field locklessly under just
rcu_read_lock() protection, which enables looking up uprobe from
uprobes_tree completely locklessly and speculatively without the need to
acquire mmap_lock for reads. In most cases, anyway, assuming that there
are no parallel mm and/or VMA modifications. The underlying struct
file's memory won't go away from under us (even if struct file can be
reused in the meantime).
We rely on newly added mmap_lock_speculate_{try_begin,retry}() helpers to
validate that mm_struct stays intact for entire duration of this
speculation. If not, we fall back to mmap_lock-protected lookup.
The speculative logic is written in such a way that it will safely
handle any garbage values that might be read from vma or file structs.
Benchmarking results speak for themselves.

Previously total throughput was maxing out at 11mln/s, and gradually
declining past 8 cores. With this change, it now keeps growing with each
added CPU, reaching 142mln/s at 80 CPUs (this was measured on a 80-core
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6138 CPU @ 2.00GHz).

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 reStructuredText 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.
