/**
 * Some statistics (all per provider):
 *  - number of calls to a function per executable binary (not per PID!)
 *    - allows to see where an optimization would be beneficial for a given
 *      application
 *  - graph of CPU time spend in functions per executable binary
 *    - together with the number of calls to this function this allows
 *      to determine if a kernel optimization would be beneficial / is
 *      possible for a given application
 *  - graph of longest running (CPU-time!) function in total
 *    - may help finding problem cases in the kernel code
 * - graph of longest held (CPU-time!) locks
