Subject: [PATCH v7 08/18] unwind_user/deferred: Add unwind cache
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2025 15:57:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250430200108.838930038@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250430195746.827125963@goodmis.org

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Cache the results of the unwind to ensure the unwind is only performed
once, even when called by multiple tracers.

The cache nr_entries gets cleared every time the task exits the kernel.
When a stacktrace is requested, nr_entries gets set to the number of
entries in the stacktrace. If another stacktrace is requested, if
nr_entries is not zero, then it contains the same stacktrace that would be
retrieved so it is not processed again and the entries is given to the
caller.
