Oh, I vaguely remember the beginning because I was trying to fix
get_wchan() not supporting ORC unwinder on x86 [1], and then you sent a
patch set, and the patch [2] in this patch set tried to implement the
shared version of __get_wchan().

Didn't realize I had replied to this email before.

But I also don't see why you dropped it. Looks like you have fixed the
UAF problem.

So do we still need to implement a shared version of __get_wchan()?
If we still need it, do I need to send it again? Or just pick your
previous patch directly? Both are fine to me. :)

Thanks,
Qi
