We currently have this feature in UST. We're adding "markers" into the
applications, and a UST daemon talks with an in-process library helper thread to
enable/disable markers and control tracing over unix sockets.
We're currently in the process of moving from markers to the
TRACE_EVENT()+tracepoints infrastructure.
Thanks,
