[PATCH v6 0/5] Faultable Tracepoints

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Wed Aug 28 2024 - 10:42:38 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 v6 rebases v5 on top of v6.11-rc5. It requires the "cleanup.h:
Introduce DEFINE_INACTIVE_GUARD()/activate_guard()" series.

Thanks,

Mathieu
