AFAIK, this is exactly what smpl_amd64_ibs is doing. It does print the
load and data
addresses. OF course, it prints more, you need to adapt the program to
your needs.

It is true that the sampling period is expressed in cycles.
What do you mean by 'after kernel sample overflow'?

Another key point, with IBS you cannot filter by priv level, it
captures instructions at all levels.
