[for-next][PATCH 02/10] tracing/ftrace: disable preemption in syscall probe

Steven Rostedt
2024-10-10T14:25:42Z

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.
