Summary: Review Request: sysprof-kmod - kernel module for the sysprof profiler

------- Additional Comments From giallu@gmail.com 2006-07-29 19:09 EST ------- This is the response I got from the author which is, BTW, a Red Hat employee (though sysprof is not a Red Hat project):
<snippet from original email> The reason I didn't reply is that the issue with the sysprof kernel module is a little tricky. Basically, the kernel developers I have talked to are saying that sysprof overlaps with the oprofile module, so I haven't attempted getting it upstream.
One possibility is that I port sysprof to use the oprofile module, but there are some issues with that as well. <end snippet>
Moreover, I was told it already exists a proof of concept of the latter solution (using the oprofile module), so chances are the kmod could go away in a reasonable timeframe.
