Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf: Support multiple stacks (v2)

If userspace has two or more stacks and we happen to take a sample when
the stack pointer is pointing to a higher stack, we might get truncated
callchains. This patch series tries to address that.

Changelog:

v2: do this for compat32 as well
v2: improve safety checks and reduce max callchain size

Arun Sharma (3):
  perf, x86: Allow multiple stacks
  perf, x86: Don't leak kernel data via callchains
  perf, x86: Limit callchains to 127
