[PATCH v4 0/5] Faultable Tracepoints

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Mon Nov 20 2023 - 15:54:56 EST


Wire up the system call tracepoints with Tasks Trace RCU to allow
the ftrace, perf, and eBPF tracers to handle page faults.

This series does the initial wire-up allowing tracers to handle page
faults, but leaves out the actual handling of said page faults as future
work.

I have tested this against a feature branch of lttng-modules which
implements handling of page faults for the filename argument of the
openat(2) system call.

This series is based on kernel v6.6.2.

Thanks,

Mathieu
