Description
Hello,
I'm using the dotnet-dump / dotnet-trace within a docker container, engine running in WSL2, using a rootless user.
**dotnet-dump**
In my docker file, I added CAP_SYS_PTRACE capabilities to createdump using `setcap CAP_SYS_PTRACE=+eip $(find /usr/share -name createdump)`
I also start my container with `--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE`
Once I did that I was able to get passed the error `Core dump generation FAILED 0x80004005` due to `PTrace(ATTACH, 1) FAILED Operation not permitted`
However now I'm getting the error
`/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/5.0.4/createdump: error while loading shared libraries: libmscordaccore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`
chowing recursively the directory `/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App` to a group where my user is in also has no impact.
is root absolutely necessary to create dumps? If this is the case, is running a side-car container my only option to be able to generate dumps if my main application container runs under a rootless user?
**dotnet-trace**
Using the same rootless user, if I try to create a trace, I get the following error:
```
No profile or providers specified, defaulting to trace profile 'cpu-sampling'

```
what permissions is necessary to capture tracing using a rootless user?
Thank you!
