The BPF ringbuffer map is pre-allocated and the implementation logic does not rely on disabling preemption or per-cpu data structures. Using the BPF ringbuffer sleepable LSM and tracing programs does not trigger any warnings with DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, DEBUG_PREEMPT, PROVE_RCU and PROVE_LOCKING and LOCKDEP enabled. This allows helpers like bpf_copy_from_user and bpf_ima_inode_hash to write to the BPF ring buffer from sleepable BPF programs.

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 Restructured Text 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.
