Huh, is TLS being handled in the kernel these days? I thought most systems still used usermode libraries.

I'm using the term "low level system calls" loosely here since the poster asked for ELI5. Trayce actually uses a combination of kprobes for system calls and uprobes to monitor calls to OpenSSL or the Go crypto/tls package.
