On the way back to user space, the function unwind_reset_info() is called unconditionally (but always inlined). It currently has two conditionals. One that checks the unwind_mask which is set whenever a deferred trace is called and is used to know that the mask needs to be cleared. The other checks if the cache has been allocated, and if so, it resets the nr_entries so that the unwinder knows it needs to do the work to get a new user space stack trace again (it only does it once per entering the kernel). Use one of the bits in the unwind mask as a "USED" bit that gets set whenever a trace is created. This will make it possible to only check the unwind_mask in the unwind_reset_info() to know if it needs to do work or not and eliminates a conditional that happens every time the task goes back to user space.

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.
