    perf core: Per event callchain limit · 97c79a38
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    Additionally to being able to control the system wide maximum depth via
    /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack, now we are able to ask for
    different depths per event, using perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack for
    that.
    
    This uses an u16 hole at the end of perf_event_attr, that, when
    perf_event_attr.sample_type has the PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN, if
    sample_max_stack is zero, means use perf_event_max_stack, otherwise
    it'll be bounds checked under callchain_mutex.
