[RFC PATCH 3/6] tracing: bpf-trace: add support for faultable tracepoints

From: Michael Jeanson
Date: Thu Feb 18 2021 - 17:24:02 EST


In preparation for converting system call enter/exit instrumentation
into faultable tracepoints, make sure that bpf can handle registering to
such tracepoints by explicitly disabling preemption within the bpf
tracepoint probes to respect the current expectations within bpf tracing
code.

This change does not yet allow bpf to take page faults per se within its
probe, but allows its existing probes to connect to faultable
tracepoints.
