Ingo, you happily still ignore my primary issues, how serious do you
expect me to take this?

That would assume the choices are mutually exclusive, which you haven't
proven at all.
To put everything in yet another perspective: We have the kernel full of
security hooks, which are likely more invasive than any trace marker ever
will be. These security hooks are well hated by a few developers, but we
merged them anyway, because they are useful.
So the big question is now, why should it be impossible to create and
merge a well defined set of markers, which can be used by any tracer?
bye, Roman
