3 * Stack depot - a stack trace storage that avoids duplication.
5 * Stack depot is intended to be used by subsystems that need to store and
6 * later retrieve many potentially duplicated stack traces without wasting
9 * For example, KASAN needs to save allocation and free stack traces for each
10 * object. Storing two stack traces per object requires a lot of memory (e.g.
11 * SLUB_DEBUG needs 256 bytes per object for that). Since allocation and free
12 * stack traces often repeat, using stack depot allows to save about 100x space.

46 * Using stack depot requires its initialization, which can be done in 3 ways:
48 * 1. Selecting CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT. This option is suitable in
49 * scenarios where it's known at compile time that stack depot will be used.
50 * Enabling this config makes the kernel initialize stack depot in mm_init().
52 * 2. Calling stack_depot_request_early_init() during early boot, before
53 * stack_depot_early_init() in mm_init() completes. For example, this can
54 * be done when evaluating kernel boot parameters.
56 * 3. Calling stack_depot_init(). Possible after boot is complete. This option
57 * is recommended for modules initialized later in the boot process, after
58 * mm_init() completes.
60 * stack_depot_init() and stack_depot_request_early_init() can be called
61 * regardless of whether CONFIG_STACKDEPOT is enabled and are no-op when this
62 * config is disabled. The save/fetch/print stack depot functions can only be
63 * called from the code that makes sure CONFIG_STACKDEPOT is enabled _and_
64 * initializes stack depot via one of the ways listed above.

82 * stack_depot_save_flags - Save a stack trace to stack depot
84 * @entries: Pointer to the stack trace
85 * @nr_entries: Number of frames in the stack
86 * @alloc_flags: Allocation GFP flags
87 * @depot_flags: Stack depot flags
89 * Saves a stack trace from @entries array of size @nr_entries.
91 * If STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_CAN_ALLOC is set in @depot_flags, stack depot can
92 * replenish the stack pools in case no space is left (allocates using GFP
93 * flags of @alloc_flags). Otherwise, stack depot avoids any allocations and
94 * fails if no space is left to store the stack trace.
96 * If STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_GET is set in @depot_flags, stack depot will increment
97 * the refcount on the saved stack trace if it already exists in stack depot.
98 * Users of this flag must also call stack_depot_put() when keeping the stack
99 * trace is no longer required to avoid overflowing the refcount.
101 * If the provided stack trace comes from the interrupt context, only the part
102 * up to the interrupt entry is saved.
104 * Context: Any context, but setting STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_CAN_ALLOC is required if
105 * alloc_pages() cannot be used from the current context. Currently
106 * this is the case for contexts where neither %GFP_ATOMIC nor
107 * %GFP_NOWAIT can be used (NMI, raw_spin_lock).
