Is there a standard bpf function to get this value? If so, it's trivial
to call it from a probe-begin and initialize this global. If not, it's
a less trivial job for it to get a reserved spot in the same global
array where the bpf runtime communicates exit-ness with stapbpf. Then
stapbpf could initialize this shared global at its startup. Or a fake
stapbpf-special bpf function could provide this value, and again a
probe begin could save the value.
