[Lse-tech] gcov+kernprof+lockmeter patch

[Adam G L. <ag...@us...>]

Hello.  I have been playing around with gcov, kernprof, and lockmeter as of
late and have produced a patch to support all three on the same 2.4.18
kernel.  Now, you may be asking yourself why would I want all three in one
patch?  I know you would never get any useful data by enabling all three at
once.  But, you can compile in the tools you want from the same source.
This helps to prevent headaches as the original kernprof and gcov patches
were 2.4.17 and don't apply cleanly to 2.4.18.

It is mainly for my use, but I thought that someone else might also be
interested in this.  If there is interest, I will produce the same patch
for 2.5.  For now, the 2.4.18 patch is on the lse site.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Adam Litke
