Calling get_perf_callchain() on perf_events from PEBS entries may cause unwinder errors. To fix this issue, perf subsystem fetches callchain early, and marks perf_events are marked with __PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY. Similar issue exists when BPF program calls get_perf_callchain() via helper functions. For more information about this issue, please refer to discussions in [1].
This set fixes this issue with helper proto bpf_get_stackid_pe and bpf_get_stack_pe. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ed7b9430-6489-4260-b3c5-9cfa2e3aa...@fb.com/ Changes v1 => v2: 1. Simplify the design and avoid introducing new helper function.
