Yeah I saw Vaishali & Javier's presentation [1] at LPC last year! Great stuff, & certainly available to use now rather than when SFrame becomes available and supported.

In the same spirit, it seems that the .eh_frame -> BPF unwind table process could be (relatively) easily modified to produce SFrame, which you could attach to the binaries if you have a trustworthy way of doing that (which is... a big if). So that once SFrame support becomes available in the kernel, you could apply it to applications without rebuilding them.

I would need to double check with the team on this detail, but if I recall correctly the architecture as it is is specifically designed to make the bpf verfier happy and we didn’t think it was going to be possible with existing formats. But happy to reconsider, we’d of course much rather use a standardized format if possible!
