Currently, teletryStart is a fully blocking call. There appears to be no way to stop tracing without sending a signal that would cause perf_buffer__poll to return <0, .e.g., SIGSTOP or SIGCONT (based on the comments). This can race with the call to perf_buffer_poll which may not be on the stack when the signal arrives.
If you are trying to use this library in-process, it is difficult to control stopping as designed.
An Init->Start->Stop->Fini pattern would be useful for this library.
