[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Antonio Rosales (a.rosales) has assigned this bug to you for Quantal:

Per Oprofile home page:

"OProfile is a system-wide profiler for Linux systems, capable of
profiling all running code at low overhead. OProfile is released under
the GNU GPL. It consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting
sample data, and several post-profiling tools for turning data into
information."

Project Homepage: http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/

License: GNU GPL Version 2, June 1991

Notes:

Oneiric Universe contained oprofile 0.9.6. However, oprofile missed
12.04. Currently targeting Quantal (12.10) Universe for 0.9.7 packaging.

Debian sid[0] and squeeze[1] release contain the 0.9.6 version. With the
Developer Information (PTS) page having a todo to package the latest
upstreat version, 0.9.7.

The following two patches will also need to be applied ontop of 0.9.7 in
order to properly profile new IvyBridge Intel systems.
