Ok.

So if I read this set of traces correctly:

- perf_event_open holds exec_update_mutex

- perf_event_open can call kern_path which for overlayfs takes ovl_i_mutex

- chown on overlayfs calls mnt_want_write which takes sb_writes

- sendfile/splice can read from a seq_file (which takes p->lock)
while holding mnt_want_write aka sb_writes of the target file.

- There are proc files that are seq_files that first take p->lock
then take exec_update_mutex

So this looks real, if painful.

I have added some likely looking overlayfs and perf people to look at
this.

This feels like an issue where perf can just do too much under
exec_update_mutex. In particular calling kern_path from
create_local_trace_uprobe. Calling into the vfs at the very least
makes it impossible to know exactly which locks will be taken.

Thoughts?
