title: Are tracepoints redundant in Linux kernel after kprobes support for ftrace?
body: <p>What are the use-cases for using tracepoint events when kprobe events support for ftrace is available in Linux kernel? It seems everything that is possible to be done using 'tracepoint events' is possible using kprobe events, since one can set up a kprobe event to at the same point where tracepoint event is available.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something? </p>
