[PATCH v3 5/8] tracing: Allow system call tracepoints to handle page faults

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Fri Oct 04 2024 - 11:01:40 EST


Use Tasks Trace RCU to protect iteration of system call enter/exit
tracepoint probes to allow those probes to handle page faults.

In preparation for this change, all tracers registering to system call
enter/exit tracepoints should expect those to be called with preemption
enabled.

This allows tracers to fault-in userspace system call arguments such as
path strings within their probe callbacks.
