3# stacksnoop    Trace a kernel function and print all kernel stack traces.
4#               For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF, and currently x86_64 only. Inline C.
5#
6# USAGE: stacksnoop [-h] [-p PID] [-s] [-v] function
7#
8# The current implementation uses an unrolled loop for x86_64, and was written
9# as a proof of concept. This implementation should be replaced in the future
10# with an appropriate bpf_ call, when available.
11#
12# The stack depth is limited to 10 (+1 for the current instruction pointer).
13# This could be tunable in a future version.
