These are useful in particular for VM scenarios where the process which
has opened to drm device file is just a proxy for the real user in a VM
guest.

the above described criteria in order to associate data to individual clients.

Perhaps it would be okay to save space here by not repeating the
description, like:

drm-comm-override: <valstr>
drm-cmdline-override: <valstr>

Long description blah blah...
This allows the proxy to make visible the _executable name *and* command
line_ blah blah..

You could add a fast unlocked check before taking the mutex for no risk
apart a transient false negative. For 99.9999% of userspace it would
mean no pointless lock/unlock cycle.

I'm not sure I get your point? This needs to be serialized against
userspace setting the override values

if (file->override_comm || file->override_cmdline) {
mutex_lock(&file->override_lock);
if (file->override_comm)
drm_printf(&p, "drm-comm-override:\t%s\n",
file->override_comm);
if (file->override_cmdline)
drm_printf(&p, "drm-cmdline-override:\t%s\n",
file->override_cmdline);
mutext_unlock(&file->override_lock);
}

No risk apart for a transient false negative (which is immaterial for userspace since fdinfo reads are not ordered versus the override setting anyway) and 99.9% of deployments can get by not needing to pointlessly cycle the lock.

I don't think this should go to drm just yet though. Only one driver can
make use of it so I'd leave it for later and print from msm_show_fdinfo
for now.

This was my original approach but danvet asked that it be moved into
drm for consistency across drivers. (And really, I want the in-flight
amd and intel native-context stuff to motivate adding similar features
to amdgpu/i915/xe.)

IMO if implementation is not shared, not even by using helpers, I don't think data storage should be either, but it's not a deal breaker.
