Do you plan to reuse this logic for stack unwinding done by perf subsystem in perf_callchain_user()? See is_uprobe_at_func_entry() parts and also fixup_uretprobe_trampoline_entries() for some of the quirks that have to be taken into account when doing frame pointer-based unwinding. It would be great not to lose those in this new reimplementation. Not sure what's the best way to avoid duplicating the logic, but I thought I'd bring that up.Indeed! That was on the todo list and somehow evaporated.
I'm getting ready to post an update of these patches, but I want to mention that this has not been addressed, and I'm replying here to make sure it stays on the radar. -- Steve
