bpf: Replace open coded recursion prevention in sys_bpf()
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 open coded preempt_[dis|en]able and __this_cpu_[inc|dec] pairs with the new helper functions. These functions are already prepared to make BPF work on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. No functional change for !RT kernels. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]
