+ OProfile is a system-wide profiler for Linux systems,
+ capable of profiling all running code at low overhead.
+ OProfile is released under the GNU GPL.
+
+ It consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting
+ sample data, and several post-profiling tools for turning
+ data into information.
+
+ OProfile leverages the hardware performance counters of the
+ CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of interesting
+ statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent
+ profiling. All code is profiled: hardware and software
+ interrupt handlers, kernel modules, the kernel, shared
+ libraries, and applications.
