Subject: [RESEND][PATCH 2/5] perf: Have get_perf_callchain() return NULL if crosstask and user are set
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 14:03:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820180428.426423415@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250820180338.701352023@kernel.org

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

get_perf_callchain() doesn't support cross-task unwinding for user space
stacks, have it return NULL if both the crosstask and user arguments are
set.
