There are three situations when a program logically exits and transfers control to the kernel or another program: bpf_throw, BPF_EXIT, and tail calls. The former two check for any lingering locks and references, but tail calls currently do not. Expand the checks to check for spin locks, RCU read sections and preempt disabled sections. Spin locks are indirectly preventing tail calls as function calls are disallowed, but the checks for preemption and RCU are more relaxed, hence ensure tail calls are prevented in their presence.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
