Hi Pekka,
Probably less interesting that you're hoping for, but here are the
CrOS patches to enable and collect tracing:

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/platform2/+/2354674
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/platform/crosutils/+/2354392

Our feedback report generation (log_tool.cc above) collects the logs
(depending on user log preferences) from across the system and
packages them up for submission when requested by the user. For
drm_trace, we grab them from debugfs since we don't have tracefs
mounted.

You could adapt this code to change the delivery method, but I'm not
sure how much value it would add beyond writing your own purpose-built
service.
