unwind_user/deferred: Add unwind_user_faultable() Add a new API to retrieve a user space callstack called unwind_user_faultable(). The difference between this user space stack tracer from the current user space stack tracer is that this must be called from faultable context as it may use routines to access user space data that needs to be faulted in. It can be safely called from entering or exiting a system call as the code can still be faulted in there. This code is based on work by Josh Poimboeuf's deferred unwinding code: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/6052e8487746603bdb29b65f4033e739092d9925.1737511963.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org/ Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Cc: Indu Bhagat <indu.bhagat@oracle.com> Cc: "Jose E.

* Deferred user space unwinding
*/
unwind_user/deferred: Add deferred unwinding interface Add an interface for scheduling task work to unwind the user space stack before returning to user space. This solves several problems for its callers: - Ensure the unwind happens in task context even if the caller may be running in interrupt context. - Avoid duplicate unwinds, whether called multiple times by the same caller or by different callers. - Create a "context cookie" which allows trace post-processing to correlate kernel unwinds/traces with the user unwind. A concept of a "cookie" is created to detect when the stacktrace is the same. A cookie is generated the first time a user space stacktrace is requested after the task enters the kernel. As the stacktrace is saved on the task_struct while the task is in the kernel, if another request comes in, if the cookie is still the same, it will use the saved stacktrace, and not have to regenerate one. The cookie is passed to the caller on request, and when the stacktrace is generated upon returning to user space, it calls the requester's callback with the cookie as well as the stacktrace. The cookie is cleared when it goes back to user space. Note, this currently adds another conditional to the unwind_reset_info() path that is always called returning to user space, but future changes will put this back to a single conditional. A global list is created and protected by a global mutex that holds tracers that register with the unwind infrastructure. The number of registered tracers will be limited in future changes. Each perf program or ftrace instance will register its own descriptor to use for deferred unwind stack traces. Note, in the function unwind_deferred_task_work() that gets called when returning to user space, it uses a global mutex for synchronization which will cause a big bottleneck. This will be replaced by SRCU, but that change adds some complex synchronization that deservers its own commit.

unwind_user/deferred: Add deferred unwinding interface Add an interface for scheduling task work to unwind the user space stack before returning to user space. This solves several problems for its callers: - Ensure the unwind happens in task context even if the caller may be running in interrupt context. - Avoid duplicate unwinds, whether called multiple times by the same caller or by different callers. - Create a "context cookie" which allows trace post-processing to correlate kernel unwinds/traces with the user unwind. A concept of a "cookie" is created to detect when the stacktrace is the same. A cookie is generated the first time a user space stacktrace is requested after the task enters the kernel. As the stacktrace is saved on the task_struct while the task is in the kernel, if another request comes in, if the cookie is still the same, it will use the saved stacktrace, and not have to regenerate one. The cookie is passed to the caller on request, and when the stacktrace is generated upon returning to user space, it calls the requester's callback with the cookie as well as the stacktrace. The cookie is cleared when it goes back to user space. Note, this currently adds another conditional to the unwind_reset_info() path that is always called returning to user space, but future changes will put this back to a single conditional. A global list is created and protected by a global mutex that holds tracers that register with the unwind infrastructure. The number of registered tracers will be limited in future changes. Each perf program or ftrace instance will register its own descriptor to use for deferred unwind stack traces. Note, in the function unwind_deferred_task_work() that gets called when returning to user space, it uses a global mutex for synchronization which will cause a big bottleneck. This will be replaced by SRCU, but that change adds some complex synchronization that deservers its own commit.

unwind_user/deferred: Add deferred unwinding interface Add an interface for scheduling task work to unwind the user space stack before returning to user space. This solves several problems for its callers: - Ensure the unwind happens in task context even if the caller may be running in interrupt context. - Avoid duplicate unwinds, whether called multiple times by the same caller or by different callers. - Create a "context cookie" which allows trace post-processing to correlate kernel unwinds/traces with the user unwind. A concept of a "cookie" is created to detect when the stacktrace is the same. A cookie is generated the first time a user space stacktrace is requested after the task enters the kernel. As the stacktrace is saved on the task_struct while the task is in the kernel, if another request comes in, if the cookie is still the same, it will use the saved stacktrace, and not have to regenerate one. The cookie is passed to the caller on request, and when the stacktrace is generated upon returning to user space, it calls the requester's callback with the cookie as well as the stacktrace. The cookie is cleared when it goes back to user space. Note, this currently adds another conditional to the unwind_reset_info() path that is always called returning to user space, but future changes will put this back to a single conditional. A global list is created and protected by a global mutex that holds tracers that register with the unwind infrastructure. The number of registered tracers will be limited in future changes. Each perf program or ftrace instance will register its own descriptor to use for deferred unwind stack traces. Note, in the function unwind_deferred_task_work() that gets called when returning to user space, it uses a global mutex for synchronization which will cause a big bottleneck. This will be replaced by SRCU, but that change adds some complex synchronization that deservers its own commit.

unwind_user/deferred: Add unwind_user_faultable() Add a new API to retrieve a user space callstack called unwind_user_faultable(). The difference between this user space stack tracer from the current user space stack tracer is that this must be called from faultable context as it may use routines to access user space data that needs to be faulted in. It can be safely called from entering or exiting a system call as the code can still be faulted in there.

unwind_user/deferred: Add unwind_user_faultable() Add a new API to retrieve a user space callstack called unwind_user_faultable(). The difference between this user space stack tracer from the current user space stack tracer is that this must be called from faultable context as it may use routines to access user space data that needs to be faulted in. It can be safely called from entering or exiting a system call as the code can still be faulted in there.

unwind_user/deferred: Add unwind cache Cache the results of the unwind to ensure the unwind is only performed once, even when called by multiple tracers. The cache nr_entries gets cleared every time the task exits the kernel. When a stacktrace is requested, nr_entries gets set to the number of entries in the stacktrace. If another stacktrace is requested, if nr_entries is not zero, then it contains the same stacktrace that would be retrieved so it is not processed again and the entries is given to the caller.

unwind_user/deferred: Add deferred unwinding interface Add an interface for scheduling task work to unwind the user space stack before returning to user space. This solves several problems for its callers: - Ensure the unwind happens in task context even if the caller may be running in interrupt context. - Avoid duplicate unwinds, whether called multiple times by the same caller or by different callers. - Create a "context cookie" which allows trace post-processing to correlate kernel unwinds/traces with the user unwind. A concept of a "cookie" is created to detect when the stacktrace is the same. A cookie is generated the first time a user space stacktrace is requested after the task enters the kernel. As the stacktrace is saved on the task_struct while the task is in the kernel, if another request comes in, if the cookie is still the same, it will use the saved stacktrace, and not have to regenerate one. The cookie is passed to the caller on request, and when the stacktrace is generated upon returning to user space, it calls the requester's callback with the cookie as well as the stacktrace. The cookie is cleared when it goes back to user space. Note, this currently adds another conditional to the unwind_reset_info() path that is always called returning to user space, but future changes will put this back to a single conditional. A global list is created and protected by a global mutex that holds tracers that register with the unwind infrastructure. The number of registered tracers will be limited in future changes. Each perf program or ftrace instance will register its own descriptor to use for deferred unwind stack traces. Note, in the function unwind_deferred_task_work() that gets called when returning to user space, it uses a global mutex for synchronization which will cause a big bottleneck. This will be replaced by SRCU, but that change adds some complex synchronization that deservers its own commit.
