Hello! This is version 2 of a patch series introducing SRCU-fast to the __DECLARE_TRACE() in place of the current preemption disabling. This change enable preemption of BPF programs attached to tracepoints in in, as is required for runtime use of BPF in real-time systems. The patches are as follows: 1. Move rcu_is_watching() checks to srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast(). 2. Add srcu_read_lock_fast_notrace() and srcu_read_unlock_fast_notrace(). 3. Add guards for notrace variants of SRCU-fast readers. 4. Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of __DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast. Changes since RFC version: o RFC patch 6/4 has been pulled into the shared RCU tree: e88c632a8698 ("srcu: Add guards for SRCU-fast readers") o RFC patch 5/4 (which removed the now-unnecessary special boot-time avoidance of SRCU) has been folded into patch 4/4 shown above, as suggested by Steven Rostedt.
