[PATCH v6 06/12] unwind_user/sframe: Add prctl() interface for registering .sframe sections
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Jun 17 2025 - 18:53:55 EST
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
The kernel doesn't have direct visibility to the ELF contents of shared
libraries. Add some prctl() interfaces which allow glibc to tell the
kernel where to find .sframe sections.
