Gary> Is it possible for in-process debuggers to locate SystemTap probes?

The probes are described in an non-allocated section, so IIUC they
aren't mapped by ld.so.  I guess a program could examine the executables
and libraries it uses and map them itself.

I am not sure how LLTng plans to address this.
