…able In containers without kernel config (/proc/config.gz, /boot/config-*), probeKprobeMulti silently returned Supported=false with no error, making kprobe.multi appear unsupported rather than unknown. Return ErrNoKernelConfig when the kernel config is nil so callers can distinguish "unsupported" from "cannot determine".

This PR shifts kprobe.multi probing from silently degrading to explicitly signaling. I like it, grazie.
