Renaming fopen64 to intercept library calls feels like a brittle hack masquerading as "sandboxing." Why not just upstream this hardware support to nvtop instead

Renaming fopen64 to intercept library calls feels like a brittle hack masquerading as "sandboxing." Why not just upstream this hardware support to nvtop instead of fragmenting the ecosystem?
- steeve 6mo agosadly, sandboxing is something that can't be upstreamed. this way, sandboxing is kept in zml instead of patching mesa. as for nvtop, great program, but we missed a few features (such as sandboxing)
- pstuart 6mo agoIt looks cool and I was excited to get monitoring for the NPU on my Ryzen AI 395+, unfortunately it does not show. NPU support in linux really seems to be an afterthought.
- steeve 6mo agoWeird, because we tried it. It doesn’t show anything? We use the amdsmi to get metrics. I’ll investigate.
- marwanet 6mo agoIf this logic were pushed into nvtop, wouldn't the codebase become unmaintainable? Each vendor's interception method is going to be different.
