[lttng-dev] Record stacktraces at userspace tracing domain

[Christophe Bédard]

Hi,

I did the same thing a while ago, i.e., trigger tracepoints on
malloc/free/etc. using liblttng-ust-libc-wrapper and collect userspace
callstack information (so that the indirect calls to malloc/free can be
removed from an application).

There is a userspace callstack context implementation here for lttng-ust
2.10, see the last 3 commits:
https://github.com/tahini/lttng-ust-1/commits/ust-callstack-2.10/. Here's
the corresponding lttng-tools 2.10 branch needed to enable the userspace
callstack context:
https://github.com/tahini/lttng-tools/commits/ust-context-callstack/.

I've rebased it on 2.11 here:
https://github.com/ApexAI/lttng-ust/commits/ust-callstack-2.11/.
lttng-tools:
https://github.com/ApexAI/lttng-tools/commits/ust-callstack-2.11/. It
shouldn't be too hard to rebase it all on a newer version.

Hope that helps,

Christophe
