I see another crash on s390, which seems related, but rather an issue in
uprobe. This can be reproduced by

# cd linux-next/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace
# ./ftracetest ./test.d/dynevent/add_remove_uprobe.tc

The 'mm: Add optional close() to struct vm_special_mapping' patch just
makes it visible. I enabled KASAN, and that shows me:

The problem is that uprobe_clear_state() kfree's struct xol_area, which
contains struct vm_special_mapping *xol_mapping. This one is passed to
_install_special_mapping() in xol_add_vma().

__mput reads:

static inline void __mmput(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
	VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users));

	uprobe_clear_state(mm);
	exit_aio(mm);
	ksm_exit(mm);
	khugepaged_exit(mm); /* must run before exit_mmap */
	exit_mmap(mm);
	...
}

So uprobe_clear_state() in the beginning free's the memory area
containing the vm_special_mapping data, but exit_mmap() uses this
address later via vma->vm_private_data (which was set in _install_special_mapping().

The following change fixes this for me, but i'm not sure about any side
effects:

Any thoughts?
