Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm not familiar with all the userspace
tools for trace events, so I didn't know about the command parser.  Is
there documentation or a list of resources for all the userspace trace
event plugins?  If so, can you give us a pointer to it?

You might want to try out LTTng-UST. It provides TRACEPOINT_EVENT() and
tracepoint() for user-space instrumentation. See:

- https://lttng.org/files/doc/man-pages/man3/lttng-ust.3.html

Is that build on the <sys/sdt.h> ust probe points as embedded in glibc
for example that gdb and systemtap use to access user space trace
points? Can tools use lttng-ust and <sys/sdt.h> tracepoints
interchangeably by parsing the ELF notes described in
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/UserSpaceProbeImplementation

Thanks,

Mark
