One thing I mentioned when Thomas did the unwinder API changes was trying to move lockdep over to something like stackdepot. We can't directly use stackdepot as is, because it uses locks and memory allocation, but we could maybe add a lower level API to it and use that under the graph_lock() on static storage or something. Otherwise we'll have to (re)implement something like it. I've not looked at it in detail.
