To support old (ancient?) kernels, you can declare them as __weak and
check if one of them is defined and ignore owner stacks on them.  Also
you can check them in user space and turn off the option before loading.

Can be it 'skip_owner'?

No need for parenthesis.

Hmm.. it just discard the old owner data if it comes from a new owner?
Why not save the data into the result for the old lock/callstack?

No need for parenthesis, and it needs to be atomic dec.

Please add a comment that ctx[1] has the return code of the lock
function.  Maybe it's better to use a local variable.

Also I think you need to say about the normal case too.  Returing 0
means the waiter now gets the lock and becomes a new owner.  So it needs
to update the owner information.

Same as bpf_get_stack(), right?

Please factor out the code if it indents too much.  Or you can use goto
or something to reduce the indentation level.

  if (ret != 0)
  	goto skip_update;

  ...

  if (entries == NULL)
  	goto skip_stack;

  ...
