Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v8 1/3] bpf: refactor max_depth computation in
 bpf_get_stack()

From: Arnaud Lecomte <contact@...aud-lcm.com>

A new helper function stack_map_calculate_max_depth() that
computes the max depth for a stackmap.

---
Changes in v2:
 - Removed the checking 'map_size % map_elem_size' from
   stack_map_calculate_max_depth
 - Changed stack_map_calculate_max_depth params name to be more generic

Changes in v3:
 - Changed map size param to size in max depth helper

Changes in v4:
 - Fixed indentation in max depth helper for args

Changes in v5:
 - Bound back trace_nr to num_elem in __bpf_get_stack
 - Make a copy of sysctl_perf_event_max_stack
   in stack_map_calculate_max_depth

Changes in v6:
 - Restrained max_depth computation only when required
 - Additional cleanup from Song in __bpf_get_stack

Changes in v7:
 - Removed additional cleanup from v6
