There are several key shortcoming of interfacing with the system call only
through a controlled binary. The first is that the granularity of tracing
hardware performance counter registers and software tracepoints is at a whole
binary level. There is no method for tracing portions of code within the
application if desired. This is because there is no nice API exposed to
binary level. There is no method for tracing portions of code within the
application if desired. This is because there is no nice API exposed to
userspace developers that can interface with this system call. The second
shortcoming is that the tool, although extensive, may not account for every
possible use case for these counters and tracepoints. Offering a
possible use case for these counters and tracepoints. Offering a
non-restrictive API to userspace gives developers full power and freedom to
