Subject: [PATCH v14 03/12] unwind_user/deferred: Add unwind cache
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 20:49:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250717004956.907070321@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250717004910.297898999@kernel.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.
