There are multiple interfaces *today*. Oprofile/perfmon2 are very focused on CPU events and have complex interfaces, sysprof has a much more simple interface (and yes, very specific to syspref) that just focuses on samples. Sadly, I think there's use for both, and forcing both into the same straightjacket is a mistake imo. -- If you want to reach me at my work email, use [EMAIL PROTECTED] For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
