Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf/core: Pass GFP flags to attach_task_ctx_data()
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 14:32:19 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211223222.3119790-2-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260211223222.3119790-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
This is a preparation for the next change to reduce the computational
complexity in the global context data handling for LBR callstacks.
