Asserting that preemption is enabled or disabled is a critical sanity
check. Developers are usually reluctant to add such a check in a
fastpath as reading the preemption count can be costly.
Extend the lockdep API with macros asserting that preemption is disabled
or enabled. If lockdep is disabled, or if the underlying architecture
does not support kernel preemption, this assert has no runtime overhead.

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 Restructured Text 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.
