+Get the source (see Changes for required version) from

Configure with CONFIG_PROFILING=y and CONFIG_OPROFILE=y & reboot on new kernel
+
./configure --with-kernel-support
make install
stop opcontrol --stop
dump output opreport > output_file
-To only report on the kernel, run opreport /boot/vmlinux > output_file
+To only report on the kernel, run opreport -l /boot/vmlinux > output_file
A reset is needed to clear old statistics, which survive a reboot.
