Change stack_map_get_build_id_offset() which is used to convert stack trace IP addresses into build ID+offset pairs. Right now this function accepts an array of u64s as an input, and uses array of struct bpf_stack_build_id as an output. This is problematic because u64 array is coming from perf_callchain_entry, which is (non-sleepable) RCU protected, so once we allows sleepable build ID fetching, this all breaks down. But its actually pretty easy to make stack_map_get_build_id_offset() works with array of struct bpf_stack_build_id as both input and output. Which is what this patch is doing, eliminating the dependency on perf_callchain_entry. We require caller to fill out bpf_stack_build_id.ip fields (all other can be left uninitialized), and update in place as we do build ID resolution. We make sure to READ_ONCE() and cache locally current IP value as we used it in a few places to find matching VMA and so on. Given this data is directly accessible and modifiable by user's BPF code, we should make sure to have a consistent view of it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
