/*
 * Stack depot - a stack trace storage that avoids duplication.
 *
 * Stack depot is intended to be used by subsystems that need to store and
 * later retrieve many potentially duplicated stack traces without wasting
 * memory.
 *
 * For example, KASAN needs to save allocation and free stack traces for each
 * object. Storing two stack traces per object requires a lot of memory (e.g.
 * SLUB_DEBUG needs 256 bytes per object for that). Since allocation and free
 * stack traces often repeat, using stack depot allows to save about 100x space.
 *
 * Stack traces are never removed from the stack depot.

/*
 * Using stack depot requires its initialization, which can be done in 3 ways:
 *
 * 1. Selecting CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT. This option is suitable in
 *    scenarios where it's known at compile time that stack depot will be used.
 *    Enabling this config makes the kernel initialize stack depot in mm_init().
 *
 * 2. Calling stack_depot_request_early_init() during early boot, before
 *    stack_depot_early_init() in mm_init() completes. For example, this can
 *    be done when evaluating kernel boot parameters.
 *
 * 3. Calling stack_depot_init(). Possible after boot is complete. This option
 *    is recommended for modules initialized later in the boot process, after
 *    mm_init() completes.
 *
 * stack_depot_init() and stack_depot_request_early_init() can be called
 * regardless of whether CONFIG_STACKDEPOT is enabled and are no-op when this
 * config is disabled. The save/fetch/print stack depot functions can only be
 * called from the code that makes sure CONFIG_STACKDEPOT is enabled _and_
 * initializes stack depot via one of the ways listed above.
