Description: system-wide profiler for Linux systems
 OProfile is a system-wide profiler for Linux systems, capable
 of profiling all running code at low overhead.  It consists of a
 daemon for collecting sample data, plus several post-profiling tools
 for turning data into information.  Using OProfile also requires
 a kernel module, either contained in a separate package called
 'oprofile-modules' for 2.2 and 2.4 kernels, or for 2.6 kernels,
 the OProfile kernel module is part of the Linux kernel source and
 must be built from the 'kernel-source' package.
 .
 OProfile leverages the hardware performance counters of the x86 CPU and
 the PMU (Performance Monitoring Unit) of the ia64 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 (the only exception being the OProfile interrupt handler
 itself).  Note that different architectures can use different hardware 
 mechanisms to collect data.
 .
 Analysis of the data collected by OProfile can also be done using the
 'prospect' package.
 .
 OProfile is currently in alpha status; however it has proven stable over
 a large number of differing configurations. As always, there is no warranty.

Description: Source for the OProfile driver
 This package provides the source code for the OProfile kernel modules.
 The 'oprofile' package contains the daemon that is also required in order
 to extract the data collected by the kernel modules from kernel-space
 into user-space.  Kernel source is required to compile these modules.
 .
 The OProfile kernel module is highly architecture specific, and may not
 be available for all architectures.
