bpf: Add crosstask check to __bpf_get_stack
Currently get_perf_callchain only supports user stack walking for
the current task. Passing the correct *crosstask* param will return
0 frames if the task passed to __bpf_get_stack isn't the current
one instead of a single incorrect frame/address. This change
passes the correct *crosstask* param but also does a preemptive
check in __bpf_get_stack if the task is current and returns
-EOPNOTSUPP if it is not.
This issue was found using bpf_get_task_stack inside a BPF
iterator ("iter/task"), which iterates over all tasks.
bpf_get_task_stack works fine for fetching kernel stacks
but because get_perf_callchain relies on the caller to know
if the requested *task* is the current one (via *crosstask*)
it was failing in a confusing way.
It might be possible to get user stacks for all tasks utilizing
something like access_process_vm but that requires the bpf
program calling bpf_get_task_stack to be sleepable and would
therefore be a breaking change.
