This is the third patch series for fixing stack tracer on arm64. The original issue was reported by Jungseok[1], and then I found more issues[2]. (Steven, Jungseok, sorry for not replying to your comments directly.) I address here all the issues and implement fixes described in [2] except for interrupt-triggered problems, ie. II-3). Recent discussions[3] about introducing a dedicated interrupt stack suggests that we may avoid walking through from an interrupt stack to a process stack. (So interrupt-stack patch is a prerequisite.) Basically, patch1 corresponds to the original issue. patch2 is a proactive improvement of function_graph tracer. patch3 corresponds to II-4(functions under function_graph tracer). patch4 corresponds to II-5(leaf function). patch5, 6 and 7 correspond to II-1(slurping stack) and II-2(differences between x86 and arm64). Each fix can be applied independently, but if patch5, 6 and 7 are acceptable, patch1 is not necessary because patch7 replaces a default stack tracer.
Given the comments and kbuild robot build errors, do you plan to post a new version of this series? Will
