Hi,

Why do you need the kernel support if you modify the binaries, why not insert a function to write your logs and then insert a call to that function rather than relying on kernel support via an int 3?

Curious really.

performance, plus lower level metrics that tell you about the health of the system/host, disregarding what software is running.
