Subject: [PATCH v15 1/8] unwind deferred: Add unwind_user_get_cookie() API
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 14:06:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250825180801.557674656@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250825180638.877627656@kernel.org
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Add the function unwind_user_get_cookie() API that allows a subsystem to
retrieve the current context cookie. This can be used by perf to attach a
cookie to its task deferred unwinding code that doesn't use the deferred
unwind logic.
