[PATCH 0/3] perf: Support multiple stacks (v2)

From: Arun Sharma
Date: Fri Apr 20 2012 - 15:35:49 EST


If userspace has two or more stacks and we happen to take a sample when
the stack pointer is pointing to a higher stack, we might get truncated
callchains. This patch series tries to address that.

Changelog:

v2: do this for compat32 as well
v2: improve safety checks and reduce max callchain size

Arun Sharma (3):
perf, x86: Allow multiple stacks
perf, x86: Don't leak kernel data via callchains
perf, x86: Limit callchains to 127
