[PATCH v12 00/11] perf: Support the deferred unwinding infrastructure

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

This is based on top of the deferred unwind core patch series:

 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250701005321.942306427@goodmis.org/
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git unwind/core


This series implements the perf interface to use deferred user space stack
tracing.

The code can be found here:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git unwind/perf

  Head SHA1: e00f51618c68b5b6fd6054488212504592c9e392

Changes since v11: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250625231541.584226205@goodmis.org/

- Also check against PF_USER_WORKER as io workers do not have PF_KTHREAD
  set.

- Removed deferred_request_nmi() and have NMIs just use the normal
  deferred_request() function. As Peter Zijlstra has stated, in_nmi() can
  nest because some exceptions set in_nmi() and a real NMI could come in.


Josh Poimboeuf (5):
      perf: Remove get_perf_callchain() init_nr argument
      perf: Have get_perf_callchain() return NULL if crosstask and user are set
      perf: Simplify get_perf_callchain() user logic
      perf: Skip user unwind if the task is a kernel thread
      perf: Support deferred user callchains

Namhyung Kim (4):
      perf tools: Minimal CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED support
      perf record: Enable defer_callchain for user callchains
      perf script: Display PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED
      perf tools: Merge deferred user callchains

Steven Rostedt (2):
      perf: Use current->flags & PF_KTHREAD|PF_USER_WORKER instead of current->mm == NULL
      perf: Support deferred user callchains for per CPU events
