Description: Performance analysis tools
  A miscellaneous collection of in-development and unsupported performance
  analysis tools for Linux perf_events, aka the "perf" command, and ftrace.
  Both
  perf_events and ftrace are core Linux tracing tools, and are included in the
  Linux kernel source.
  These tools are designed to be simple to use, easy to install, and provide
  advanced performance observability. This collection was written by Brendan
  Gregg (author of the DTraceToolkit).
  Many of these tools employ workarounds so that functionality is possible on
  existing Linux kernels. Because of this, many tools have caveats (see man
  pages), and their implementation should be considered a placeholder until
  future kernel features, or new tracing subsystems, are added.
