75 * preempt_schedule_context - preempt_schedule called by tracing
76 *
77 * The tracing infrastructure uses preempt_enable_notrace to prevent
78 * recursion and tracing preempt enabling caused by the tracing
79 * infrastructure itself. But as tracing can happen in areas coming
80 * from userspace or just about to enter userspace, a preempt enable
81 * can occur before user_exit() is called. This will cause the scheduler
82 * to be called when the system is still in usermode.
83 *
84 * To prevent this, the preempt_enable_notrace will use this function
85 * instead of preempt_schedule() to exit user context if needed before
86 * calling the scheduler.
