The places which need to prevent the execution of trace type BPF programs to prevent deadlocks on the hash bucket lock do this open coded. Provide two inline functions, bpf_disable/enable_instrumentation() to replace these open coded protection constructs. Use migrate_disable/enable() instead of preempt_disable/enable() right away so this works on RT enabled kernels. On a !RT kernel migrate_disable / enable() are mapped to preempt_disable/enable(). These helpers use this_cpu_inc/dec() instead of __this_cpu_inc/dec() on an RT enabled kernel because migrate disabled regions are preemptible and preemption might hit in the middle of a RMW operation which can lead to inconsistent state.

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.
