[RFC PATCH v3 4/5] tracing/perf: add support for faultable tracepoints

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Mon Oct 02 2023 - 16:25:48 EST


In preparation for converting system call enter/exit instrumentation
into faultable tracepoints, make sure that perf can handle registering
to such tracepoints by explicitly disabling preemption within the perf
tracepoint probes to respect the current expectations within perf ring
buffer code.

This change does not yet allow perf to take page faults per se within
its probe, but allows its existing probes to connect to faultable
tracepoints.
