+ *
+ * The callstack context can be added to any kernel
+ * event. It records either the kernel or the userspace callstack, up to a
+ * max depth. The context is a CTF sequence, such that it uses only the space
+ * required for the number of callstack entries.
+ *
+ * It allocates callstack buffers per-CPU up to 4 interrupt nesting. This
+ * nesting limit is the same as defined in the ring buffer. It therefore uses a
+ * fixed amount of memory, proportional to the number of CPUs:
+ *
+ *   size = cpus * nest * depth * sizeof(unsigned long)
+ *
+ * Which is about 800 bytes per-CPUs on 64-bit host and a depth of 25. The
+ * allocation is done at the initialization to avoid memory allocation
+ * overhead while tracing, using a shallow stack.
+ *
+ * The kernel callstack is recovered using save_stack_trace(), and the
+ * userspace callstack uses save_stack_trace_user(). They rely on frame
+ * pointers. These are usually available for the kernel, but the compiler
+ * option -fomit-frame-pointer frequently used in popular Linux distributions
+ * may cause the userspace callstack to be unreliable, and is a known
+ * limitation of this approach. If frame pointers are not available, it
+ * produces no error, but the callstack will be empty. We still provide the
+ * feature, because it works well for runtime environments having frame
+ * pointers. In the future, unwind support and/or last branch record may
+ * provide a solution to this problem.
+ *
+ * The symbol name resolution is left to the trace reader.
