--- Comment #1 from Josh Stone <jistone at redhat dot com> ---
Right, the dyninst mode is not system-wide like the kernel -- we have to
explicitly attach to processes. Right now we choose to simply attach to the
-x/-c process and any children we see forked after that. I suppose we could
attempt additional attachments based on the process(PID) probes in the script.
However, I think we may have other issues internally in the way the PID is
encoded, overloading the offset field. That works fine for
process(PID).begin/end, but we'll need a true offset for .function to work. It
looks like the call to dynprobe_add_uprobe() is currently ignoring any PID.
(These process(PID) uprobe types are new in 2.6, so they weren't a
consideration when this stapdyn code was written.)
