    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
    481       is being used on machines ranging from laptops to 16-way NUMA-Q

     472      features including the use of an LD_PRELOADed shared object to catch
     473      invocations to <command>cc1</command>, <command>cc1plus</command> and
     474      <command>as</command>, it transparently supports all build methods, it
     475      can cache <application>GCC</application> bootstraps and it can be
     476      combined with <application>distcc</application> to transparently
     477      distribute compilations.</para>

     614      <application>OProfile</application> is released under the GNU GPL. It
     615      consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting sample data, and
     616      several post-profiling tools for turning data into information.
     617      <application>OProfile</application> leverages the hardware performance
     618      counters of the CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of interesting
     619      statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent profiling. All
     620      code is profiled: hardware and software interrupt handlers, kernel
     621      modules, the kernel, shared libraries, and applications.
     622      <application>OProfile</application> is currently in alpha status; however
     623      it has proven stable over a large number of differing configurations. It
     624      is being used on machines ranging from laptops to 16-way NUMA-Q
