[RFC patch 15/19] bpf: Use migrate_disable() in sys_bpf()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Fri Feb 14 2020 - 11:45:42 EST


The required protection is that the caller cannot be migrated to a
different CPU as these functions end up in places which take either a hash
bucket lock or might trigger a kprobe inside the memory allocator. Both
scenarios can lead to deadlocks. The deadlock prevention is per CPU by
incrementing a per CPU variable which temporarily blocks the invocation of
BPF programs from perf and kprobes.

Replace the preempt_disable/enable() pairs with migrate_disable/enable()
pairs to prepare BPF to work on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. On a non-RT
kernel this maps to preempt_disable/enable(), i.e. no functional change.
