[PATCH 1/2] unwind_user/x86: Enable frame pointer unwinding on x86

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Use ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME to describe how frame pointers are unwound
on x86, and enable CONFIG_HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP accordingly so the
unwind_user interfaces can be used.

[PATCH 2/2] unwind deferred/x86: Do not defer stack tracing for compat tasks

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently compat tasks are not supported. If a deferred user space stack
trace is requested on a compat task, it should fail and return an error so
that the profiler can use an alternative approach (whatever it uses
today).

Add a arch_unwind_can_defer() macro that is called in
unwind_deferred_request(). Have x86 define it to a function that makes
sure that the current task is running in 64bit mode, and if it is not, it
returns false. This will cause unwind_deferred_request() to error out and
the caller can use the current method of user space stack tracing.
