Subject: [PATCH v14 05/11] perf: Skip user unwind if the task is a kernel thread
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 12:41:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250718164323.918565553@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250718164119.089692174@kernel.org
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
If the task is not a user thread, there's no user stack to unwind.
