Beau Belgrave 41d8fba193 tracing/user_events: Limit max fault-in attempts
When event enablement changes, user_events attempts to update a bit in
the user process. If a fault is hit, an attempt to fault-in the page and
the write is retried if the page made it in. While this normally requires
a couple attempts, it is possible a bad user process could attempt to
cause infinite loops.

Ensure fault-in attempts either sync or async are limited to a max of 10
attempts for each update. When the max is hit, return -EFAULT so another
attempt is not made in all cases.

README

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.
