472 | consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting sample data, and

473 | several post-profiling tools for turning data into information.
|

474 | <application>OProfile</application> leverages the hardware performance

475 | counters of the CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of interesting

476 | statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent profiling. All

477 | code is profiled: hardware and software interrupt handlers, kernel
|

478 | modules, the kernel, shared libraries, and applications.
|
---|
479 | <application>OProfile</application> is currently in alpha status; however
|

480 | it has proven stable over a large number of differing configurations. It
