[$] SFrame-based stack unwinding for the kernel
Friday July 11, 2025. 03:42 PM , from LWN.net
The kernel's perf
events subsystem can produce high-quality profiles, with full function-call chains, of resource usage within the kernel itself. Developers, however, often would like to see profiles of the whole system in one integrated report with, for example, call-stack information that crosses the boundary between the kernel and user space. Support for unwinding user-space call stacks in the perf events subsystem is currently inefficient at best. A long-running effort to provide reliable, user-space call-stack unwinding within the kernel, which will improve that situation considerably, appears to be reaching fruition.
