At first glance I'm concerned about a root ustd daemon. One of the things I like about LTTng UST is that it's low on administration overhead and configuration. Putting a central service in place that mediates access introduces a level of complexity that makes it harder for unprivileged users who want to quickly trace something in an app they are running or developing. Perhaps offer a two-level approach: 1. You can directly trace processes that you have permissions for. No root and no system-wide daemon needed. 2. You can set up a system-wide daemon and get all the access control, tracing over the network, etc benefits. I will reread the RFC in more detail later in case I've missed the answers to this.
