When using the stacktrace trigger command to trace syscalls, the preemption count was consistently reported as 1 when the system call event itself had 0 (".").

For example:

root@ubuntu22-vm:/sys/kernel/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read $ echo stacktrace > trigger $ echo 1 > enable

sshd-416 [002] ..... 232.864910: sys_read(fd: a, buf: 556b1f3221d0, count: 8000) sshd-416 [002] ...1. 232.864913: <stack trace> => ftrace_syscall_enter => syscall_trace_enter => do_syscall_64 => entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption in __DO_TRACE before invoking the trigger callback.

Use the tracing_gen_ctx_dec() that will accommodate for the increase of the preemption count in __DO_TRACE when calling the callback. The result is the accurate reporting of:

sshd-410 [004] ..... 210.117660: sys_read(fd: 4, buf: 559b725ba130, count: 40000) sshd-410 [004] ..... 210.117662: <stack trace> => ftrace_syscall_enter => syscall_trace_enter => do_syscall_64 => entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
