Examine the complexities involved in developing CO-RE support for Android, considering the diverse ecosystem and the need for careful implementation. Discuss the requests from vendors for expanded access to kprobes and tracepoints, and analyze the implications of extending the kernel ABI. Investigate potential approaches to limit access to BPF attach points while ensuring program compatibility across various Android and kernel versions.
