I have been successful in getting OProfile in timer mode to work on a OLPC Beta

build?
Yes.
Could we turn that on in near future. Then people can avoid building custom
kernels to run OProfile? The 314 build still doesn't have OProfile enabled. Who
do I need to make the request to change the line in the kernel config files to
mke oprofile support available?
Developers might find it useful to get some system-wide sampling to find
out where the hot spots are in code. Are there reasons other than space
constraints that OProfile support is not included in the kernel?
Nope; it has been on our "we'd like to have" list of performance tools
for quite a while.
