This is the first patch series of a set that will make it possible to be able
to use SFrames[1] in the Linux kernel. A quick recap of the motivation for
doing this.
You have a '[1]' to indicate there's a link to what SFrames are.

Okay, I've read the cover letter and this wiki page, but I am dense: why
does the _kernel_ want to do this? Shouldn't it only be userspace that
cares about userspace unwinding? I don't use perf, ftrace, and ebpf
enough to make this obvious to me, I guess. ;)
