Michael Jeanson Feb. 18, 2021, 10:21 p.m. UTC 
When invoked from system call enter/exit instrumentation, accessing
user-space data is a common use-case for tracers. However, tracepoints
currently disable preemption around iteration on the registered
tracepoint probes and invocation of the probe callbacks, which prevents
tracers from handling page faults.

Extend the tracepoint and trace event APIs to allow defining a faultable
tracepoint which invokes its callback with preemption enabled.

Also extend the tracepoint API to allow tracers to request specific
probes to be connected to those faultable tracepoints. When the
TRACEPOINT_MAYFAULT flag is provided on registration, the probe callback
will be called with preemption enabled, and is allowed to take page
faults. Faultable probes can only be registered on faultable
tracepoints and non-faultable probes on non-faultable tracepoints.

The tasks trace rcu mechanism is used to synchronize read-side
marshalling of the registered probes with respect to faultable probes
unregistration and teardown.

Changes since v1:
- Cleanup __DO_TRACE() implementation.
- Rename "sleepable tracepoints" to "faultable tracepoints", MAYSLEEP to
  MAYFAULT, and use might_fault() rather than might_sleep(), to properly
  convey that the tracepoints are meant to be able to take a page fault,
  which requires to be able to sleep *and* to hold the mmap_sem.
