Similar to __bpf_trace_run this is redundant because __bpf_trace_run() is
invoked from a trace point via __DO_TRACE() which already disables
preemption _before_ invoking any of the functions which are attached to a
trace point.

Remove it and add a cant_sleep() check.

My testing uncovered that above was too aggressive:

    bpf: disable migration for bpf progs attached to uprobe

    trace_call_bpf() no longer disables preemption on its own.
    All callers of this function has to do it explicitly.

But looking at your patch cant_sleep() seems unnecessary strong.
Should it be cant_migrate() instead?
And two calls to __this_cpu*() replaced with this_cpu*() ?
If you can ack it I can fix it up in place and apply the whole thing.
That was the only issue I found.

Duh. I missed that particular callchain.

Yes, if we go with the migrate_disable(). OTOH, having a
preempt_disable() in that uprobe callsite should work as well, then we
can keep the cant_sleep() check which covers all other callsites
properly. No strong opinion though.

> And two calls to __this_cpu*() replaced with this_cpu*() ?

See above.

Ack.

ok. I went with preempt_disable() for uprobes. It's simpler.
And pushed the whole set to bpf-next.
In few days we'll send it to Dave for net-next and on the way
to Linus's next release. imo it's a big milestone.
Thank you for the hard work to make it happen.
