[PATCH v4 5/8] tracing: Allow system call tracepoints to handle page faults
Posted by Mathieu Desnoyers 1 month, 2 weeks ago
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.

Changes since v3:
- Add comment above __DO_TRACE() which describes the preempt off
  vs Tasks Trace RCU for syscall=0 vs syscall=1.
