DESCRIPTION

The tracing infrastructure uses preempt_enable_notrace to prevent recursion and tracing preempt enabling caused by the tracing infrastructure itself. But as tracing can happen in areas coming from userspace or just about to enter userspace, a preempt enable can occur before user_exit is called. This will cause the scheduler to be called when the system is still in usermode.

To prevent this, the preempt_enable_notrace will use this function instead of preempt_schedule to exit user context if needed before calling the scheduler.
