From the systemtap point of view, deferring nested kprobes would probably not help. That's because probe handlers may make references to probe-site state like local variables, based on a snapshot of registers given to the handlers. By the time a deferred handler might get called, even an archived snapshot will have data that is too obsolete to use. For example, stack frames will have been unwound. - FChE
