This PR aims to expand the kernel matrix we support - specifically targeting RHEL7.9 (kernel 3.10 with patched eBPF functionality). For these kernels:
sys_enter_execverand thesys_exit_execvetracepoints are not supported./proc/<pid>/statusfile don't contain that info on these kernels.To support this, adding a fallback for
sched_process_exectracepoint which is present on these old kernels as well. This fallback is limited in the sense that we don't have direct access to the exec arguments like env vars - and some filtering that we do on the main path are not supported on this mode - this is indicated by a warning log.
