hw_breakpoints: Fix per task breakpoint tracking
Freeing a perf event can happen in several ways. A task
calls perf_event_exit_task() right before exiting. This helper
will detach all the events from the task context and queue their
removal through free_event() if they are child tasks. The task
also loses its context reference there.
Releasing the breakpoint slot from the constraint table is made
from free_event() that calls release_bp_slot(). We count the number
of breakpoints this task is running by looking at the task's
perf_event_ctxp and iterating through its attached events.
But at this time, the reference to this context has been cleaned up
already.
So looking at the event->ctx instead of task->perf_event_ctxp
to count the remaining breakpoints should solve the problem.
At least it would for child breakpoints, but not for parent ones.
If the parent exits before the child, it will remove all its
events from the context but free_event() will be called later,
on fd release time. And checking the number of breakpoints the
task has attached to its context at this time is unreliable as all
events have been removed from the context.
To solve this, we keep track of the list of per task breakpoints.
On top of it, we maintain our array of numbers of breakpoints used
by the tasks. We use the context address as a task id.
So, instead of looking at the number of events attached to a context,
we walk through our list of per task breakpoints and count the number
of breakpoints that use the same ctx than the one to be reserved or
released from the constraint table, and update the count on top of this
result.
In the meantime it solves a bad refcounting, it also solves a warning,
reported by Paul.
