[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: Cache the last valid build_id.

From: Hao Luo
Date: Wed Feb 23 2022 - 17:20:28 EST


For binaries that are statically linked, consecutive stack frames are
likely to be in the same VMA and therefore have the same build id.
As an optimization for this case, we can cache the previous frame's
VMA, if the new frame has the same VMA as the previous one, reuse the
previous one's build id. We are holding the MM locks as reader across
the entire loop, so we don't need to worry about VMA going away.

Tested through "stacktrace_build_id" and "stacktrace_build_id_nmi" in
test_progs.
