Hi,

This is something we are contemplating, but we are expecting a Perf ABI
that will expose those counters to user-space through vDSO. I know some
work has been done in perf to expose those counters through system
calls, but I don't know the current completion status.

Short story: as soon as we have a user-space interface available to read
those counters from UST, we plan to support it.

Thanks,

Mathieu
