After updating it to Y2K so as to support AthlonXP (this also works for Athlon64), it has some advantages over hwpmc. Mainly lack of bloat, but also: - with (modified) high resolution kernel profiling, it can profile individual functions precisely, e.g., to count cache misses per function even for functions that are only called once. Statistical profiling cannot do this and hwpmc doesn't support high resolution kernel profiling (neither does perfmon for SMP, since the locking needed for this is especially delicate and not done; locking for all types of kernel profiling for SMP is mostly broken (either not done or can cause deadlock), but this is fixed in my version). - in userland, its standard support utilitities (I use only wollman's unmaintained since 1999 /usr/src/share/examples/perfmon) have a raw interface that doesn't prevent access to undocumented counters. Some useful k8 counters work on all my AthlonXP k7 CPUs though they are only documented for k8.
