of 100K usually, which for 200 times a second means a bandwidth of
20MB/s, which is probably too much. One question is how much of it
usually changes.
Actually it seems that the _interesting_ part of the stack
(ie., from the stack pointer and up) is not that big in many cases. The
average stacksize seemed to be about 7700 bytes for gcc compiling gtk+.
Even deeply recursive apps like sysprof only generate about 55K stacks.
Other possibilities:
- Do heuristic stack walking where it lists all words on the stack
that look like they might be return addresses.
- Somehow map the application's stack pages into the client. This
is likely difficult or impossible.
- Another idea: copy all addresses that look like they could be
return addresses, along with the location on the stack. This
just might be enough for a userspace stack walker.
* If interrupt happens in kernel mode, send both
kernel stack and user space stack, have userspace stitch them
