The eBPF sampling path read registers via x86_64 pt_regs fields (rip/rbp/rsp/orig_rax), so the kernel programs could not compile for an aarch64 BPF target — profile-bee was x86_64-only for stack unwinding. Make register access arch-neutral and validate frame-pointer unwinding and HotSpot interpreter-frame naming on aarch64 end to end: - profile-bee-ebpf: add `RawRegs` + `reg_ip/reg_sp/reg_fp/reg_syscall_nr` accessors gated on `bpf_target_arch`. On x86_64 `RawRegs = pt_regs`; on aarch64 the register file is read as `user_pt_regs` (FP = x29, IP = pc, SP = sp, syscall NR = x8). All FP/DWARF/raw-tp paths now hold `&RawRegs`. Note the raw-tp paths read the register file by value: on aarch64 aya's `pt_regs` is an opaque ZST, so reading `user_pt_regs` (the leading bytes of the kernel struct) is required for correctness, not just naming. - profile-bee-ebpf/build.rs (new): emit the `bpf_target_arch` cfg mirroring aya-ebpf's own logic (CARGO_CFG_BPF_TARGET_ARCH, else host arch), since a dependency's rustc-cfg does not propagate to dependents. - HotSpot `interpreter_frame_method_offset` = -3 words = -24 bytes is identical on x86_64 and aarch64 (frame_x86.hpp / frame_aarch64.hpp), so the Method* side-channel needs no per-arch offset — only the FP accessor (x29) changes. - profile-bee/build.rs: select a per-arch prebuilt eBPF object (`profile-bee.<arch>.bpf.o`) by CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ARCH, falling back to `profile-bee.bpf.o` (x86_64). Ships a tested `profile-bee.aarch64.bpf.o` so `cargo install` works on aarch64 without a nightly eBPF rebuild. - bin/profile-bee.rs: `--dwarf` on non-x86_64 warns and falls back to frame pointers (DWARF unwind tables encode x86_64 register rules and omit an RA column — aarch64 DWARF is a follow-up). - examples/java_offsets.rs: read SP via PTRACE_GETREGSET/NT_PRSTATUS on aarch64 (PTRACE_GETREGS/user_regs_struct.rsp are x86_64-only). - Gate x86_64-only DWARF unwind-table tests to x86_64; mark the x86_64-only Kallsyms preempt-count helper dead-code-allowed on other arches. - Remove dead, misleading profile-bee-ebpf/src/pt_regs.rs (unused x86_64 bindgen dump; the real pt_regs comes from aya_ebpf::bindings). Validated on Corretto 17 aarch64 (kernel 6.12): eBPF verifies + loads, kernel stacks symbolize (el0_svc/__arm64_sys_read/vfs_read), FP fixtures resolve full _start->main->function_a->function_b->hot chains, and the on-CPU leaf interpreter frame resolves to `Burn.fib` under `-Xint`. fmt/clippy clean; 150 lib + integration + common tests pass.
Extend DWARF unwinding to aarch64, keeping x86_64 byte-identical. The core difference from x86_64: the return address lives in LR (x30) and is not always at CFA-8, so the compact unwind entry needs a return-address column. Shared types (profile-bee-common), sized to stay prebuilt-compatible: - UnwindEntry: repurpose the two trailing pad bytes as `ra_offset: i16` (struct stays 12 bytes; cfa_type/rbp_type keep their offsets, so an existing x86_64 prebuilt still reads it correctly and simply ignores ra_offset). Add RA_OFFSET_IN_LR / RA_OFFSET_UNDEFINED sentinels. - DwarfUnwindState: replace the unused reserved `context` + `_pad3` (8 adjacent bytes) with `lr: u64` — the sampled link register for leaf-frame RA recovery. Size unchanged. Userspace generation (dwarf_unwind.rs): - Arch-neutral SP_REG/FP_REG/RA_REG (x86_64: 7/6/16; aarch64: 31/29/30) drive CFA base and the frame-pointer restore rule. - Per-arch RA rule: x86_64 keeps the exact Offset(-8)/signal-expression acceptance (records -8); aarch64 maps Offset(n) -> ra_offset=n and Undefined/SameValue/Register(x30) -> RA_OFFSET_IN_LR (leaf). Dedup now also compares ra_offset. eBPF (bpf_target_arch = "aarch64"-gated, so x86_64 codegen is unchanged): - New `dwarf_return_addr` helper: x86_64 = CFA-8 / signal-frame slot (behavior preserved); aarch64 = ra_offset, with RA_OFFSET_IN_LR recovered from the sampled LR for the leaf step only, RA_OFFSET_UNDEFINED terminating. Wired into both the inline and tail-call frame steps; `dwarf_try_tail_call` seeds state.lr. FP restore (x29) and CFA reuse the existing shared logic. - Fix `__START_KERNEL_MAP`: it was the x86_64 constant on all arches, but aarch64 kernel addresses (0xffff_0000_...) are numerically below it, so kernel pointers were accepted as user frames (bogus [unknown] frames when unwinding kernel register state, e.g. off-CPU). Now 2^48 on aarch64. bin/profile-bee.rs: `--dwarf` is allowed on aarch64 (only warns/falls back on other arches). Validated on aarch64 (kernel 6.12): full e2e suite green (19/19), including all DWARF cases (no-FP callstack, O2, deep recursion, 50-level deep stacks, cross-.so, PIE, Rust) via the deep tail-call path, plus off-CPU user stacks (main->sleep_inner->do_sleep) now that the kernel-address boundary is fixed. Java FP-mode interpreter naming (Burn.fib) still works. fmt/clippy clean; workspace tests pass.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe profiler now supports x86_64 and aarch64 register access, frame-pointer unwinding, DWARF unwinding, Java frame scanning, and architecture-specific eBPF binaries. Shared unwind structures carry aarch64 link-register return-address metadata. ChangesArchitecture support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds aarch64 frame-pointer/DWARF unwinding and Java profiling, but aarch64 packages and some cross-builds can load the wrong profiling object or use x86_64 unwind rules, producing failed or incorrect profiles; delayed cleanup can also apply stale Java metadata after PID reuse. These are bounded to affected aarch64 or process-lifecycle scenarios but require fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 7: Update the release-note text to use “end-to-end” and remove the
trailing space before the closing stack-trace code span, preserving the rest of
the entry unchanged.
In `@profile-bee/build.rs`:
- Line 35: Update the package include allowlist in Cargo.toml to include
ebpf-bin/profile-bee.aarch64.bpf.o, and adjust the prebuilt_default selection in
build.rs so the fallback applies only to x86_64 rather than aarch64.
In `@profile-bee/src/dwarf_unwind.rs`:
- Around line 458-460: Update classify_cfa_expression so non-x86_64 targets,
including aarch64, always return the generic CFA_REG_EXPRESSION classification
without matching x86_64-specific patterns; preserve the existing classifier
behavior on x86_64. This ensures the aarch64 unwind path falls back to frame
pointers rather than emitting CFA_REG_DEREF_RSP or CFA_REG_PLT.
In `@profile-bee/tests/dwarf_unit.rs`:
- Around line 6-8: Update the module comment in the DWARF test suite to describe
deferred aarch64-specific test coverage rather than unsupported aarch64 DWARF
implementation, while preserving the existing x86_64-only test gate and its
rationale.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 457: Update the README architecture capability description to distinguish
Java/HotSpot Method* naming support from full interpreter-frame reconstruction,
preserving the separate limitation that interpreter frames are not
reconstructed.

Version bump 0.3.21 -> 0.3.22 across the workspace crates; release the CHANGELOG "Unreleased" section as v0.3.22. Review fixes (aarch64 support): - dwarf_unwind: classify_cfa_expression now returns the generic CFA_REG_EXPRESSION on non-x86_64 instead of pattern-matching. The PLT-stub / signal-frame shapes use DWARF register numbers 7/16, which are x7/x16 (not SP/RA) on aarch64 — matching them there could misclassify an entry as CFA_REG_DEREF_RSP/CFA_REG_PLT and drive x86_64-specific recovery. aarch64 now falls back to frame pointers for such entries. X86_64_RSP/RA and the CFA_REG_PLT import are gated accordingly. - build.rs / Cargo.toml: package the aarch64 prebuilt (ebpf-bin/profile-bee.aarch64.bpf.o) via `include`, and only fall back to the x86_64 default prebuilt (profile-bee.bpf.o) on x86_64 — on other arches its bytecode would read the wrong registers, so require the arch-specific prebuilt or a fresh build. - dwarf_unwind tests: the module was gated entirely to x86_64, but most tests are architecture-neutral and now pass on aarch64 (generation works post-DWARF support). Ungate the module; keep only the genuinely x86_64-specific tests (hardcoded x86_64 libc paths, RA-at-CFA-8 convention) gated. 16 dwarf_unwind tests now run on aarch64. - Docs: CHANGELOG uses "end-to-end" and drops a stray space in a code span; README distinguishes Java/HotSpot `Method*` naming from full interpreter-frame reconstruction; test-suite comment reworded (aarch64 DWARF is implemented and covered by e2e; unit-coverage port is deferred, not "unsupported"). Not changed: the xtask CARGO_CFG_BPF_TARGET_ARCH nitpick. build.rs already prefers CARGO_CFG_BPF_TARGET_ARCH and only derives from HOST for native builds (the intended path); xtask inherits its env, so setting the var when invoking xtask already propagates to the eBPF build. xtask has no cross-arch target flag to wire, and "reject when the var is unavailable" would break native builds. Validated on aarch64: full e2e suite 19/19, workspace tests, fmt, clippy clean. No eBPF source changed, so the committed prebuilts are unaffected.
