Koichiro Den 177516053e ftrace: use preempt_enable/disable notrace macros to avoid double fault
Since the backport commit eea46baf14 ("ftrace: Fix possible
use-after-free issue in ftrace_location()") on linux-5.4.y branch, the
old ftrace_int3_handler()->ftrace_location() path has included
rcu_read_lock(), which has mcount location inside and leads to potential
double fault.

Replace rcu_read_lock/unlock with preempt_enable/disable notrace macros
so that the mcount location does not appear on the int3 handler path.

This fix is specific to linux-5.4.y branch, the only branch still using
ftrace_int3_handler with commit e60b613df8b6 ("ftrace: Fix possible
use-after-free issue in ftrace_location()") backported. It also avoids
the need to backport the code conversion to text_poke() on this branch.

README

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.
