uprobes work by raising a trap, setting a task flag from within the interrupt handler, and processing the actual work for the uprobe on the way back to userspace. As a result, uprobe handlers already execute in a might_fault/_sleep context. The primary obstacle to sleepable bpf uprobe programs is therefore on the bpf side. Namely, the bpf_prog_array attached to the uprobe is protected by normal rcu. In order for uprobe bpf programs to become sleepable, it has to be protected by the tasks_trace rcu flavor instead (and kfree() called after a corresponding grace period). Therefore, the free path for bpf_prog_array now chains a tasks_trace and normal grace periods one after the other. Users who iterate under tasks_trace read section would be safe, as would users who iterate under normal read sections (from non-sleepable locations). The downside is that the tasks_trace latency affects all perf_event-attached bpf programs (and not just uprobe ones). This is deemed safe given the possible attach rates for kprobe/uprobe/tp programs. Separately, non-sleepable programs need access to dynamically sized rcu-protected maps, so bpf_run_prog_array_sleepables now conditionally takes an rcu read section, in addition to the overarching tasks_trace section.

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.
