Subject: [PATCH v13 08/14] unwind deferred: Use bitmask to determine which callbacks to call
Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2025 21:22:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250708012359.002924698@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250708012239.268642741@kernel.org
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
In order to know which registered callback requested a stacktrace for when
the task goes back to user space, add a bitmask to keep track of all
registered tracers. The bitmask is the size of long, which means that on a
32 bit machine, it can have at most 32 registered tracers, and on 64 bit,
it can have at most 64 registered tracers. This should not be an issue as
there should not be more than 10 (unless BPF can abuse this?).
When a tracer registers with unwind_deferred_init() it will get a bit
number assigned to it. When a tracer requests a stacktrace, it will have
its bit set within the task_struct. When the task returns back to user
space, it will call the callbacks for all the registered tracers where
their bits are set in the task's mask.
When a tracer is removed by the unwind_deferred_cancel() all current tasks
will clear the associated bit, just in case another tracer gets registered
immediately afterward and then gets their callback called unexpectedly.
