2005-06-24[PATCH] oprofile: report anonymous region samplesJohn Levon
The below patch passes samples from anonymous regions to userspace instead of just dropping them. This provides the support needed for reporting anonymous-region code samples (today: basic accumulated results; later: Java and other dynamically compiled code). As this changes the format, an upgrade to the just-released 0.9 release of the userspace tools is required. This patch is based upon an earlier one by Will Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John Levon <levon@movementarian.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2003-03-07[PATCH] 5/6 Provide basic documentation for profilingMartin J. Bligh
People keep asking for this info, and Andrew asked me to put it under the Documentation directory ... provides really simple instructions for taking a profile so that users can report performance changes in a useful way.
