This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf lock contention: Change stack_id type to s32 to the 6.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-lock-contention-change-stack_id-type-to-s32.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7760441d3e6dea392547fcc784206ffe85d0a4d7 Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 12 10:25:33 2024 -0700 perf lock contention: Change stack_id type to s32 [ Upstream commit 040c0f887fdcfe747a3f63c94e9cd29e9ed0b872 ] The bpf_get_stackid() helper returns a signed type to check whether it failed to get a stacktrace or not. But it saved the result in u32 and checked if the value is negative. 376 if (needs_callstack) { 377 pelem->stack_id = bpf_get_stackid(ctx, &stacks, 378 BPF_F_FAST_STACK_CMP | stack_skip); --> 379 if (pelem->stack_id < 0) ./tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c:379 contention_begin() warn: unsigned 'pelem->stack_id' is never less than zero. Let's change the type to s32 instead.
