 In some cases, it may not be possible to decode stack frame addresses correctly. Such frames will be presented with a dimmed '\texttt{[ntdll.dll]}' name of the image containing the frame address, or simply '\texttt{[unknown]}' if the profiler cannot retrieve even this information. Additionally, '\texttt{[kernel]}' is used to indicate unknown stack frames within the operating system's internal routines.
