It's not surprising, because the callstack-user context is specific to the kernel tracer.

This is expected.

Not currently, though I think it would make sense to make "lttng add-context --list" allow a tracing domain
(e.g. --kernel/--userspace) to be specified as a future improvement.
Some information about this is available in the lttng-add-context(1) man page, but the fact that the
kernel and user callstack contexts are only supported by the kernel tracer don't seem to be mentioned.
Thanks,
Mathieu
