A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

With the typical model where the display server opens the file descriptor
and then hands it over to the client(*), we were showing stale data in
debugfs.
Fix it by updating the drm_file->pid on ioctl access from a different
process.
The field is also made RCU protected to allow for lockless readers. Update
side is protected with dev->filelist_mutex.
Before:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/clients
command pid dev master a uid magic
Xorg 2344 0 y y 0 0
Xorg 2344 0 n y 0 2
Xorg 2344 0 n y 0 3
Xorg 2344 0 n y 0 4
After:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/clients
command tgid dev master a uid magic
Xorg 830 0 y y 0 0
xfce4-session 880 0 n y 0 1
xfwm4 943 0 n y 0 2
neverball 1095 0 n y 0 3

More detailed and historically accurate description of various handover
implementation kindly provided by Emil Velikov:
"""
The traditional model, the server was the orchestrator managing the
primary device node. From the fd, to the master status and
authentication. But looking at the fd alone, this has varied across
the years.
IIRC in the DRI1 days, Xorg (libdrm really) would have a list of open
fd(s) and reuse those whenever needed, DRI2 the client was responsible
for open() themselves and with DRI3 the fd was passed to the client.
Around the inception of DRI3 and systemd-logind, the latter became
another possible orchestrator. Whereby Xorg and Wayland compositors
could ask it for the fd. For various reasons (hysterical and genuine
ones) Xorg has a fallback path going the open(), whereas Wayland
compositors are moving to solely relying on logind... some never had
fallback even.
Over the past few years, more projects have emerged which provide
functionality similar (be that on API level, Dbus, or otherwise) to
systemd-logind.

* Fixed typo in commit text and added a fine historical explanation
from Emil.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
