+Tracing Stack Depth
+===================
+
+With ``-fsanitize-coverage=stack-depth`` the compiler will track how much
+stack space has been used for a function call chain. Leaf functions are
+not included in this tracing.
+
+The maximum depth of a function call graph is stored in the thread-local
+``__sancov_lowest_stack`` variable. Instrumentation is inserted in every
+non-leaf function to check the stack pointer against this variable,
+and if it is lower, store the current stack pointer. This effectively
+inserts the following:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ thread_local uintptr_t __sancov_lowest_stack;
+
+ uintptr_t stack = (uintptr_t)__builtin_frame_address(0);
+ if (stack < __sancov_lowest_stack)
+ __sancov_lowest_stack = stack;
+
+If ``-fsanitize-coverage-stack-depth-callback-min=N`` is also used, the
+tracking is delegated to a callback, ``__sanitizer_cov_stack_depth``,
+instead of adding instrumentation to update ``__sancov_lowest_stack``.
+The ``N`` of the argument is used to determine which functions to
+instrument. Only functions estimated to be using ``N`` bytes or more of
+stack space will be instrumented to call the tracing callback. In the
+case of a dynamically sized stack, the callback is unconditionally added.
+
+The callback takes no arguments and is responsible for determining the
+stack pointer and doing any needed comparisons and storage. A roughtly
