How Universal Profiling unwinds stacks without frame pointers and symbols

Elastic Universal Profiling is based on technology that came into Elastic as part of the acquisition of optimyze.cloud — a startup that had developed Prodfiler.com, the world’s first frictionless fleet-wide in-production multi-runtime profiler that was launched in August 2021.
