Subject: Re: [PATCH -tip v8 0/7] tracing: kprobe-based event tracer and x86
instruction decoder
Small question to start with: What's your (or Hitachi s/Red Hat's) use case
for this? It's obviously really cool technology, but I fear without
some good user space side to make it easy to use it will most likely
bit-rot which would be sad.
