The latest versions of Gnome Sysprof use perf and provide a GTK+ tree interface for the profiling output. However, they are not configurable at all and don't support anything but call graph profiling, unless they added more features very recently. It would be nice to extend sysprof into a more capable tool, and one that can read perf output files and do so when launched from the command line. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
