In preparation for allowing system call enter/exit instrumentation to handle page faults, make sure that perf can handle this change by explicitly disabling preemption within the perf system call 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 adapt to the upcoming change.

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.
