Dynamic Tracing in Linux.

A light-weight dynamic tracer for Linux that leverages the kernel's BPF VM in concert with kprobes and tracepoints to attach probes to arbitrary points in the kernel. Most tracers that generate BPF bytecode are based on the LLVM based BCC toolchain. ply on the other hand has no required external dependencies except for libc. In addition to x86_64, ply also runs on aarch64, arm, loongarch, mips, riscv64, riscv32, and powerpc. Adding support for more ISAs is easy.
