Introduce two new BPF kfuncs, bpf_preempt_disable and bpf_preempt_enable. These kfuncs allow disabling preemption in BPF programs. Nesting is allowed, since the intended use cases includes building native BPF spin locks without kernel helper involvement. Apart from that, this can be used to per-CPU data structures for cases where programs (or userspace) may preempt one or the other. Currently, while per-CPU access is stable, whether it will be consistent is not guaranteed, as only migration is disabled for BPF programs. Global functions are disallowed from being called, but support for them will be added as a follow up not just preempt kfuncs, but rcu_read_lock kfuncs as well. Static subprog calls are permitted. Sleepable helpers and kfuncs are disallowed in non-preemptible regions.
