 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.
-OProfile is currently in alpha status; however it has proven stable over a 
-large number of differing configurations; it is being used on machines 
-ranging from laptops to 16-way NUMA-Q boxes. As always, there is no warranty.

-    No special recompilations, wrapper libraries or the like are necessary. 
-    Even debug symbols (-g option to gcc) are not necessary unless you want 
-    to produce annotated source.
-        No kernel patch is needed - just insert the module. 
-	System-wide profiling
-	    All code running on the system is profiled, enabling analysis of 
-	    system performance. 
-        Performance counter support
-	    Enables collection of various low-level data, and assocation with 
-	    particular sections of code.
