Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/2] perf: Refactor get_perf_callchain
>From BPF stack map, we want to use our own buffers to avoid
unnecessary copy and ensure that the buffer will not be
overwritten by other preemptive tasks. Peter suggested
provide more flexible stack-sampling APIs, which can be used
in BPF, and we can still use the perf callchain entry with
the help of these APIs. The next patch will modify the BPF part.
