When I use bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts to hook a BPF program that contains the bpf_get_stackid function on the arm64 architecture,
I find that the stack trace cannot be obtained. The trace->nr in __bpf_get_stackid is 0, and the function returns -EFAULT.

For example:

ftrace_partial_regs() supposed to work on x86 and arm64,
but since multi-kprobe is the only user...
I suspect the arm64 implementation wasn't really tested.
Or maybe there is some other issue.
