Description

We had issue with using uprobes with ebpf due to dynamic nature of golang stacks. Is there a proposal/way to address that?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Go runtime's current uprobe implementation and Linux kernel uretprobe support. Then propose a design for integrating uretprobes into the runtime's eBPF tracing.
