Michal Hocko 0a7f682d04 mm: do not rely on preempt_count in print_vma_addr 
The preempt count check on print_vma_addr has been added by commit
e8bff74afb ("x86: fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid
context" in print_vma_addr()") and it relied on the elevated preempt
count from preempt_conditional_sti because preempt_count check doesn't
work on non preemptive kernels by default.

The code has evolved though and commit d99e1bd175 ("x86/entry/traps:
Refactor preemption and interrupt flag handling") has replaced
preempt_conditional_sti by an explicit preempt_disable which is noop on
!PREEMPT so the check in print_vma_addr is broken.

Fix the issue by using trylock on mmap_sem rather than chacking the
preempt count.  The allocation we are relying on has to be GFP_NOWAIT as
well.  There is a chance that we won't dump the vma state if the lock is
contended or the memory short but this is acceptable outcome and much
less fragile than the not working preemption check or tricks around it.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
