It still requires a > kernel change, but that is still possible. You're right; the events record no data. Optimizing for this use-case sounds reasonable. It would be very helpful. The basic-block traces produced by this mechanism allow us to identify bugs introduced by transformations we make on the binaries. Kernel changes are no problem. -Anthony
