> I don't know why Go programs would not work with systemtap.

Because when tracing function call returns systemtap installs
trampolines in the return address slots. This confuses traceback,
which doesn't expect systemtap functions in the stack trace. It
also breaks stack frame copy for the same reason.

I don't know why the original SIGILL comes from exactly, but I have
experienced it also, among many other problems. Systemtap doesn't
work well with Go. In fact, a few years back it didn't work at all.
Systemtap uses the literal Go symbol names as C identifiers in the
generated C kernel driver (whtout mangling), which then didn't even
compile.
