longDescription = ''
OProfile is a system-wide profiler for Linux systems, capable of
profiling all running code at low overhead. 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.
