From 71753c6ed2bf2aee5be26c1bc06a94c9e3713ade Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:23:05 -0400 Subject: unwind_user: Add user space unwinding API with frame pointer support Introduce a generic API for unwinding user stacks. In order to expand user space unwinding to be able to handle more complex scenarios, such as deferred unwinding and reading user space information, create a generic interface that all architectures can use that support the various unwinding methods. This is an alternative method for handling user space stack traces from the simple stack_trace_save_user() API. This does not replace that interface, but this interface will be used to expand the functionality of user space stack walking. None of the structures introduced will be exposed to user space tooling. Support for frame pointer unwinding is added. For an architecture to support frame pointer unwinding it needs to enable CONFIG_HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP and define ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME. By encoding the frame offsets in struct unwind_user_frame, much of this code can also be reused for future unwinder implementations like sframe.
