bpftrace is very useful for low level driver testing. perf or trace-cmd would also do for collecting data from tracepoints, but they require much more post-processing.
Add a wrapper for running bpftrace and sanitizing its output. bpftrace has JSON output, which is great, but it prints loose objects and in a slightly inconvenient format. We have to read the objects line by line, and while at it return them indexed by the map name.
