Subject: perf/bpf: Remove preempt disable around BPF invocation
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d7bf6b7d3e8353c3fac648f3f9b3010458570c2;p=linux.git

perf/bpf: Remove preempt disable around BPF invocation

The BPF invocation from the perf event overflow handler does not require to
disable preemption because this is called from NMI or at least hard
interrupt context which is already non-preemptible.
