Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/3] Fix duplicate caller frame in arm64 stack traces
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 16:18:43 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114001846.873499-1-andrii@kernel.org> (raw)
On arm64 the caller is reported twice when the kernel builds a callchain for
the current task from regs filled by perf_fetch_caller_regs(), instead of regs
saved by a real exception. There was a similar problem on x86-64, but it was
since fixed. Now it's time for arm64.
Patch 1 has the fix, patches 2-3 add BPF selftests for this.
I'm targeting bpf-next because of BPF selftests and to have BPF CI test
everything. Patch 1 doesn't have to go through bpf-next, but it's simple enough,
so if arm64 folks are ok with that, please ack and then we'll land everything
in one go into bpf-next.
