Description
Hi, the rr team
I've tried to record systemtap's staprun utility with rr on x86_64, but immediately ran into the lack of support for the init_module syscall:

Any chance to get it supported? Many thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the x86_64 failure while recording systemtap's staprun utility, using the linked gist for the reported behavior. Then locate rr's syscall handling and compare how other supported syscalls are covered. Done means staprun can be recorded without the reported lack of init_module support.
