That's an interesting thought! Maybe one could generate perf events, or
what they are called. don't remember much about dtrace. And I would have
to check what macOS allows one to do without disabling security measures
which itself would require a reboot in recovery mode. Very interesting!

And one would of course need some nice interface for displaying events.

Thanks!
