• [$] SFrame-based stack unwinding for the kernel

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Jul 12 06:40:08 2025
    The kernel's perf
    events subsystem can produce high-quality profiles, with full
    function-call chains, of resource usage
    within the kernel itself. Developers, however, often would like to see profiles of the whole system in one integrated report with, for example, call-stack information that crosses the boundary between the kernel and
    user space. Support for unwinding user-space call stacks in the perf
    events subsystem is currently inefficient at best. A long-running effort
    to provide reliable, user-space call-stack unwinding within the kernel,
    which will improve that situation considerably, appears to be reaching fruition.
