I'm not sure how the RISCV specification ensures this type of self
code modification. But if you think calling the stop_machine() for
*each* probe arm/disarm is slow, there may be another way to avoid
ot by introducing a batch arming interface too. (reserve-commit way)

BTW, for the BPF usecase which is usually only for function
entry/exit, we will use Fprobes. Since that will use ftrace batch
text patching, I think we already avoid such slowdown.

FYI, for ftrace dynamic event usecase, there is another reason to slow
down the enable/disable dynamic event itself (to sync up the event
enabled status to ensure all event handler has been done, it waits
for rcu-sync for each operation.)

Thank you,
