"ftrace" is inside the kernel. But you could specify all those PIDs in
the set_ftrace_pid and set_event_pid files, and they will be traced. If
you want to trace the children of those PIDs, you would need to set the
options function function-fork and event-fork respectively. And then
any time a process with a pid in the set_ftrace_pid or set_event_pid
file forks, its child will also be added to that file and it too will
be traced. If the fork options are set, then when a task exits, its pid
will be removed from the file.

The above can somewhat be done in trace-cmd, but not fully. But that's
all userspace commands, nothing with the kernel.

As described above, yes. :-)
