[PATCH 0/5] perf: Clean ups and simplifications
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jul 17 2025 - 13:33:34 EST
The ongoing work to support sframes[1] in the kernel required a few clean ups
to the perf kernel side. Instead of having these changes in the ongoing
work, there's no reason they cannot be applied now.
These are just clean ups to the perf code to help simplify the updates that
will be made later.

Josh Poimboeuf (4):
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
Steven Rostedt (1):
perf: Use current->flags & PF_KTHREAD|PF_USER_WORKER instead of current->mm == NULL
