This set introduces a new helper bpf_get_task_stack(). The primary use case
is to dump all /proc/*/stack to seq_file via bpf_iter__task.
A few different approaches have been explored and compared:
1. A simple wrapper around stack_trace_save_tsk(), as v1 [1].
This approach introduces new syntax, which is different to existing
helper bpf_get_stack(). Therefore, this is not ideal.
2. Extend get_perf_callchain() to support "task" as argument.
This approach reuses most of bpf_get_stack(). However, extending
get_perf_callchain() requires non-trivial changes to architecture
specific code. Which is error prone.
3. Current (v2) approach, leverages most of existing bpf_get_stack(), and
uses stack_trace_save_tsk() to handle architecture specific logic.

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Reuse most of bpf_get_stack() logic. (Andrii)
2. Fix unsigned long vs. u64 mismatch for 32-bit systems. (Yonghong)
3. Add %pB support in bpf_trace_printk(). (Daniel)
4. Fix buffer size to bytes.
Song Liu (4):
perf: export get/put_chain_entry()
bpf: introduce helper bpf_get_task_stak()
bpf: allow %pB in bpf_seq_printf() and bpf_trace_printk()
selftests/bpf: add bpf_iter test with bpf_get_task_stack_trace()
