The main reason was because the application cannot set the shared memory with the read access to the tracing group. (unless the apps uid is in the tracing group).


I'm not quite with you here... Shouldn't all apps that we want to trace have to be in the tracing group? Or is this unreasonable...

I think having a policy where all users who need to trace are members of the tracing group as are all applications that can be traced makes a lot of sense....
