ARC: mm: do_page_fault refactor #8: release mmap_sem sooner
In case of successful page fault handling, this patch releases mmap_sem
before updating the perf stat event for major/minor faults. So even
though the contention reduction is NOT super high, it is still an
improvement.
There's an additional code size improvement as we only have 2 up_read()
calls now.
Note to myself:
--------------
1. Given the way it is done, we are forced to move @bad_area label earlier
causing the various "goto bad_area" cases to hit perf stat code.
- PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS is NOW updated for access errors which is what
arm/arm64 seem to be doing as well (with slightly different code)
- PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_{MAJ,MIN} must NOT be updated for the
error case which is guarded by now setting @fault initial value
to VM_FAULT_ERROR which serves both cases when handle_mm_fault()
returns error or is not called at all.
2. arm/arm64 use two homebrew fault flags VM_FAULT_BAD{MAP,MAPACCESS}
which I was inclined to add too but seems not needed for ARC
- given that we have everything is 1 function we can still use goto
- we setup si_code at the right place (arm* do that in the end)
- we init fault already to error value which guards entry into perf
stats event update
