No objections from me. Thanks!

Thanks! I just fixed a build issue in one of my patches for an odd config, so please use the latest version of the patchset from here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241122174416.1367052-1-surenb@google.com/
Implement speculative (lockless) resolution of VMA to inode to uprobe, bypassing the need to take mmap_lock for reads, if possible. This series is based on Suren's patch set [2], which adds mm_struct helpers that help detect whether mm_struct was changed, which is used by uprobe logic to validate that speculative results can be trusted after all the lookup logic results in a valid uprobe instance. Patch #1 is a simplification to uprobe VMA flag checking, suggested by Oleg. Patch #2 is the speculative VMA-to-uprobe resolution logic itself, and is the focal point of this patch set. It makes entry uprobes in common case scale very well with number of CPUs, as we avoid any locking or cache line bouncing between CPUs. See corresponding patch for details and benchmarking results. Note, this patch set assumes that FMODE_BACKING files were switched to have SLAB_TYPE_SAFE_BY_RCU semantics, which was recently done by Christian Brauner in [0]. This change can be pulled into perf/core through stable tags/vfs-6.13.for-bpf.file tag from [1].
