[PATCH v10 00/11] perf: Support the deferred unwinding infrastructure

[Steven Rostedt]

This is based on top of the deferred unwind core patch series:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250611005421.144238328@xxxxxxxxxxx/

Which is based on top of v6.16-rc1.

This series implements the perf interface to use deferred user space stack
tracing. This version fixes a few issues from v9 and addresses the comments
from v8 where as v9 was just a rebase.

Changes since v9: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250611013421.040264741@xxxxxxxxxxx/

- Remove CONFIG_HAVE_PERF_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED as it is never used.

- Fixed up the synchronization of rcuwait for cpu deferred events.

- Added more comments to describe how the unwind deferred works.

- Tagged the cpu_events with __rcu and added rcu annotation.
 

Josh Poimboeuf (5):
      perf: Remove get_perf_callchain() init_nr argument
      perf: Have get_perf_callchain() return NULL if crosstask and user are set
      perf: Simplify get_perf_callchain() user logic
      perf: Skip user unwind if the task is a kernel thread
      perf: Support deferred user callchains

Namhyung Kim (4):
      perf tools: Minimal CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED support
      perf record: Enable defer_callchain for user callchains
      perf script: Display PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED
      perf tools: Merge deferred user callchains

Steven Rostedt (2):
      perf: Use current->flags & PF_KTHREAD instead of current->mm == NULL
      perf: Support deferred user callchains for per CPU events
