Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] unwind deferred: Introduce unwind_user_trace_cached
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2025 12:42:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250710164301.3094-4-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250710164301.3094-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

Introduce unwind_user_trace_cached which copies the stack trace if it
was previously stored into the cache since the last reset of the cache.

The expected use-case is sampling a stack trace from a faultable context
at system call entry (coping it into the cache), and then copying the
stack trace from the cache from non-faultable context to a ring buffer.
