This is the tracefs (ftrace) implementation of the deferred stack tracing. This creates two new events that get set for every trace event when the new "userstacktrace_delay" option is enabled. The first event happens at the time of the request (after a trace event) that saves the cookie that represents the current user space stack trace (it stays the same while the task is in the kernel, as the user space stack doesn't change during this time). The second event is where the user space stacktrace is recorded along with the cookie. Since the callback is called in faultable context, it uses this opportunity to look at the addresses in the stacktrace and convert them to where they would be in the executable file (if found). It also records the inode and device major/minor numbers into the trace, so that post processing can find the exact location where the stacks are. To simplify the finding of the files, a new "inode_cache" event is created that gets triggered whenever a new inode/device is added to a new rhashtable. It will then look up the path that represents that inode/device via the vma descriptor. To keep the recording down to a minimum, this event is only triggered when a new inode/device is added to the rhashtable. The rhashtable is reset when certain changes occur in the tracefs system so that new readers of this event can get the latest changes. Changes since v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250424192456.851953422@xxxxxxxxxxx/ - Removed unwind infrastructure patches as they have already been merged. - Also add check for PF_USER_WORKER to test for kernel thread - Have the userstacktrace_delay option not depend on the userstacktrace option. - Do not expose the userstacktrace_delay option if it's not supported. - Set inode to -1L if vma is not found for that address to let user space know that, and differentiate from a vdso section. - Added "inode_cache" to dsiplay inode/device paths when added to a stack trace Steven Rostedt (6): tracing: Do not bother getting user space stacktraces for kernel threads tracing: Rename __dynamic_array() to __dynamic_field() for ftrace events tracing: Implement deferred user space stacktracing tracing: Have deferred user space stacktrace show file offsets tracing: Show inode and device major:minor in deferred user space stacktrace tracing: Add an event to map the inodes to their file names ---- kernel/trace/Makefile | 3 + kernel/trace/inode_cache.c | 144 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/trace/trace.c | 146 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- kernel/trace/trace.h | 32 ++++++++- kernel/trace/trace_entries.h | 38 ++++++++-- kernel/trace/trace_export.c | 25 ++++++- kernel/trace/trace_inode_cache.h | 42 +++++++++++ kernel/trace/trace_output.c | 99 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 520 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 kernel/trace/inode_cache.c create mode 100644 kernel/trace/trace_inode_cache.h
