[PATCH v4 2/8] tracing/ftrace: disable preemption in syscall probe

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Tue Oct 08 2024 - 21:09:51 EST


In preparation for allowing system call enter/exit instrumentation to
handle page faults, make sure that ftrace can handle this change by
explicitly disabling preemption within the ftrace system call tracepoint
probes to respect the current expectations within ftrace ring buffer
code.

This change does not yet allow ftrace to take page faults per se within
its probe, but allows its existing probes to adapt to the upcoming
change.
