Hello Naveen,

I've noticed an issue with `kstack()` in bpftrace [1] when using `kfunc` 
compared to `kprobe`. Despite trying all three modes specified in the 
documentation (bpftrace, perf, or raw), the stack isn't unwinding 
properly with `kfunc`. 

[1] https://github.com/bpftrace/bpftrace/blob/master/man/adoc/bpftrace.adoc#kstack


for mode in modes; do
	run bpftrace with kfunc
	disable cpu
	kill bpftrace
	run bpftrace with kprobe
	enable cpu
	kill bpftrace

# ./kprobe_vs_kfunc.sh
+ bpftrace -e 'kfunc:vmlinux:build_sched_domains {@[kstack(bpftrace), comm, tid]=count();}'
Attaching 1 probe...
+ chcpu -d 2-3
CPU 2 disabled
CPU 3 disabled
+ kill 35214
