Measuring Intel BTS overhead

Currently trying to measure the overhead of activating Intel BTS, which enables collection of execution trace. Every jump or change in the program counter is saved in a buffer in RAM.

The current way to handle BTS in Linux is sub-obtimal since it does 2 copies, we are trying to find a more efficient way to handle this.
