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
