+ * 	Description
+ *		Return a user or a kernel stack in bpf program provided buffer.
+ *		To achieve this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer
+ *		to the context on which the tracing program is executed.
+ *		To store the stacktrace, the bpf program provides *buf* with
+ *		a nonnegative *size*.
+ *
+ *		The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to
+ *		skip (from 0 to 255), masked with
+ *		**BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set
+ *		the following flags:
+ *
+ *		**BPF_F_USER_STACK**
+ *			Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
+ *		**BPF_F_USER_BUILD_ID**
+ *			Collect buildid+offset instead of ips for user stack,
+ *			only valid if **BPF_F_USER_STACK** is also specified.
+ *
+ *		**bpf_get_stack**\ () can collect up to
+ *		**PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames, subject
+ *		to sufficient large buffer size. Note that
+ *		this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and
+ *		that it should be manually increased in order to profile long
+ *		user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use:
+ *
+ *	::
+ *
+ *		# sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value>
+ *
+ * 	Return
+ * 		a non-negative value equal to or less than size on success, or
+ * 		a negative error in case of failure.
