Any test case to repro the issue you found? Is it a bug or just messy code? Nowadays a good chunk of popular applications (python, mysql, etc) has USDTs in them. Issues reported with bcc: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues?q=is%3Aissue+USDT Similar thing with bpftrace. Both standard USDT and semaphore based are used in the wild. uprobe for containers has been a long standing feature request. If you can improve uprobe performance that would be awesome. That's another thing that people report often. We optimized it a bit. More can be done.
