Subject: [PATCH v8 11/12] unwind_user/sframe: Add .sframe validation option
Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2025 22:11:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250708021200.223446028@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250708021115.894007410@kernel.org
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Add a debug feature to validate all .sframe sections when first loading
the file rather than on demand.

+ When adding an .sframe section for a task, validate the entire
+ section immediately rather than on demand.
+
+ This is a debug feature which is helpful for rooting out .sframe
+ section issues. If the .sframe section is corrupt, it will fail to
+ load immediately, with more information provided in dynamic printks.
+
+ This has a significant page cache footprint due to its reading of the
+ entire .sframe section for every loaded executable and shared
+ library. Also, it's done for all processes, even those which don't
+ get stack traced by the kernel. Not recommended for general use.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
