> perf has had an implementation doing [.eh_frame unwind] since ~2010

Out of curiosity, is this referring to --call-graph dwarf?

True, I should have been more specific about the context:

Their invention is about pushing down the .eh_frame walking to kernel space, so you don't need to ship large chunks of stack memory to userspace for post-processing. And eBPF code is the executor of that "pushed down" .eh_frame walking.

The GitHub page mentions a patent on this too: https://patents.google.com/patent/US11604718B1/en
