If the work being done to process each frame is being done via library 
calls, it would be possible to use a custom userspace tracing helper 
which instruments the necessary function calls, similar to those found 
[here][1] which are loaded via LD_PRELOAD.

Otherwise you will need to modify and recompile your application to [add 
tracepoints][2], or use a tool that does dynamic profiling.

It is possible to add static (user-defined) instrumentation to 
applications using [liblttng-ust][3] in C/C++. [Helpers][4] are also 
available for Java (JUL/Log4j) and Python applications.

Tracing of the linux kernel and various system information is possible 
with kernel modules provided by [lttng-modules][5].
