With enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT the following stack-trace gets printed on SMP ARC platforms with performance counters interrupts:
---------------------------------------8-------------------------------------

--------------------------------------8------------------------------------- That happens because of use of this_cpu_ptr() in
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.17/source/arch/arc/kernel/perf_event.c#L811 without explicitly disabled preemption, see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/this_cpu_ops.html#special-operations.
In this commit we explicitly disable preemption around that code.
