loading the instrumented application object file comprising a probe into a kernel level to obtain a corresponding instrumented process;

triggering, after loading the instrumented application object file, a hook in an initialization object file to load a helper object file into a kernel level for use by a tracing framework,

wherein the initialization object file is linked to the instrumented application object file,

wherein the helper object file comprises a helper action,

wherein the helper action is a stored procedure generated using an implementation specific detail associated with the instrumented application object file for obtaining a stack trace of the instrumented process,

wherein the helper object file is linked to the initialization object file,

wherein loading the helper object file comprises storing the helper action in a process helper data structure in the kernel level,

wherein the process helper data structure is accessible to the tracing framework;

registering the helper action with the tracing framework to associate the probe with the helper action loaded in the process helper data structure;

tracing the instrumented process using the tracing framework, wherein the probe is encountered during the tracing of the instrumented process;

upon encountering the probe, determining, by querying the process helper data structure, whether the helper action loaded in the process helper data structure is associated with the probe;

obtaining the helper action from the process helper data structure when the helper action is associated with the probe; and

performing the helper action to obtain the stack trace of the instrumented process when the helper action is associated with the probe.
