Ah, sorry I misunderstood the question.
Yes, the per-arch stacktrace implementation must be fixed afterwards.
It is reliable or not depends on the actual unwinder implementation,
for example, on x86, frame-pointer based unwinder can unwind kretprobe,
but ORC based one doesn't (and discussing with Josh how to solve it)
Anyway since it strongly depends on the architecture, I would like to
leave those for each architecture stacktrace maitainer in this series.
Thank you,
