When using the stacktrace trigger command to trace syscalls, the
preemption count was consistently reported as 1 when the system call
event itself had 0 (".").
For example:
root@ubuntu22-vm:/sys/kernel/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read
$ echo stacktrace > trigger
$ echo 1 > enable
sshd-416 [002] ..... 232.864910: sys_read(fd: a, buf: 556b1f3221d0, count: 8000)
sshd-416 [002] ...1. 232.864913: <stack trace>
=> ftrace_syscall_enter
=> syscall_trace_enter
=> do_syscall_64
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption in __DO_TRACE before
invoking the trigger callback.
Use the tracing_gen_ctx_dec() that will accommodate for the increase of
the preemption count in __DO_TRACE when calling the callback. The result
is the accurate reporting of:
sshd-410 [004] ..... 210.117660: sys_read(fd: 4, buf: 559b725ba130, count: 40000)
sshd-410 [004] ..... 210.117662: <stack trace>
=> ftrace_syscall_enter
=> syscall_trace_enter
=> do_syscall_64
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

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 reStructuredText 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.
