Hi -list,

I'm happy to announce new project adding support for process and system
profiling using the hardware performance counters present on many
CPU architectures.

The brief goals of the project are:

 1. To support per-process hardware profiling, supporting performance 
    measurement APIs like PAPI.

 2. To support low-overhead `whole-system' profiling --- profiling the 
     kernel and applications together.

More information about this project is available under:

  http://people.freebsd.org/~jkoshy/projects/perf-measurement/

I've just started, so feedback from the community on the goals, 
directions and design of the project is welcome.

Regards,
Koshy
