From fa28dcb82a38f8e3993b0fae9106b1a80b59e4f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 23:28:44 -0700 Subject: bpf: Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack() Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack(), which dumps stack trace of given task. This is different to bpf_get_stack(), which gets stack track of current task. One potential use case of bpf_get_task_stack() is to call it from bpf_iter__task and dump all /proc//stack to a seq_file. bpf_get_task_stack() uses stack_trace_save_tsk() instead of get_perf_callchain() for kernel stack. The benefit of this choice is that stack_trace_save_tsk() doesn't require changes in arch/. The downside of using stack_trace_save_tsk() is that stack_trace_save_tsk() dumps the stack trace to unsigned long array. For 32-bit systems, we need to translate it to u64 array.
