The system call trace events call trace_user_fault_read() to read the user
space part of some system calls. This is done by grabbing a per-cpu
buffer, disabling migration, enabling preemption, calling
copy_from_user(), disabling preemption, enabling migration and checking if
the task was preempted while preemption was enabled. If it was, the buffer
is considered corrupted and it tries again.
There's a safety mechanism that will fail out of this loop if it fails 100
times (with a warning). That warning message was triggered in some
pi_futex stress tests. Enabling the sched_switch trace event and
traceoff_on_warning, showed the problem:

What happened was the task 1375 was flagged to be migrated. When
preemption was enabled, the migration thread woke up to migrate that task,
but failed because migration for that task was disabled. This caused the
loop to fail to exit because the task scheduled out while trying to read
user space.
Every time the task enabled preemption the migration thread would schedule
in, try to migrate the task, fail and let the task continue. But because
the loop would only enable preemption with migration disabled, it would
always fail because each time it enabled preemption to read user space,
the migration thread would try to migrate it.
To solve this, when the loop fails to read user space without being
scheduled out, enabled and disable preemption with migration enabled. This
will allow the migration task to successfully migrate the task and the
next loop should succeed to read user space without being scheduled out.
