perf_pending_task() is invoked in task context and disables preemption because perf_swevent_get_recursion_context() used to access per-CPU variables. The other reason is to create a RCU read section while accessing the perf_event. The recursion counter is no longer a per-CPU accounter so disabling preemption is no longer required. The RCU section is needed and must be created explicit. Replace the preemption-disable section with a explicit RCU-read section.

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.
