In the Jvm environment there are some complexities in implementing this approach. Callstacks are a combination of native, JIT-compiled, and interpreted code. It is beyond the scope of this paper to discuss resolution to this in detail. Note that in general, sampling profilers operate on a system-wide basis. It may not be possible for the interrupting thread to interrogate the interrupted thread and obtain its complete callstack without additional Jvm support.
