Yeah, stack dumper must check the stack entry is kretprobe'd and skip it.
For example, ftrace checks it as below.
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo r vfs_read > kprobe_events
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo stacktrace > events/kprobes/r_vfs_read_0/trigger
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > events/kprobes/r_vfs_read_0/enable
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # head -20 trace
# tracer: nop

I'm not sure the bpftrace had correctly handled it or not.

Would you know how the bpftrace stacktracer rewinds the stack entries?
FYI, ftrace does it in trace_seq_print_sym()@kernel/trace/trace_output.c
Thank you,
