kernel internals are subject to change and can break with newer kernels
such that the program needs to be adapted accordingly.
+Q: Are tracepoints part of the stable ABI?
+------------------------------------------
+A: NO. Tracepoints are tied to internal implementation details hence they are

Q: How much stack space a BPF program uses?
-------------------------------------------
A: Currently all program types are limited to 512 bytes of stack
