    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
