uprobe->register_rwsem is one of a few big bottlenecks to scalability of uprobes, so we need to get rid of it to improve uprobe performance and multi-CPU scalability. First, we turn uprobe's consumer list to a typical doubly-linked list and utilize existing RCU-aware helpers for traversing such lists, as well as adding and removing elements from it. For entry uprobes we already have SRCU protection active since before uprobe lookup. For uretprobe we keep refcount, guaranteeing that uprobe won't go away from under us, but we add SRCU protection around consumer list traversal. Lastly, to keep handler_chain()'s UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE handling simple, we remember whether any removal was requested during handler calls, but then we double-check the decision under a proper register_rwsem using consumers' filter callbacks. Handler removal is very rare, so this extra lock won't hurt performance, overall, but we also avoid the need for any extra protection (e.g., seqcount locks).

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.
