24 * lib_ring_buffer_get_cpu - Precedes ring buffer reserve/commit.
25 *
26 * Disables preemption (acts as a RCU read-side critical section) and keeps a
27 * ring buffer nesting count as supplementary safety net to ensure tracer client
28 * code will never trigger an endless recursion. Returns the processor ID on
29 * success, -EPERM on failure (nesting count too high).
30 *
31 * asm volatile and "memory" clobber prevent the compiler from moving
32 * instructions out of the ring buffer nesting count. This is required to ensure
33 * that probe side-effects which can cause recursion (e.g. unforeseen traps,
34 * divisions by 0, ...) are triggered within the incremented nesting count
35 * section.
