Alexey Brodkin from Synopsys says in [1]: I think indeed, we may remove all the big-endian support for ARC. Reasons are since introduction of ARC HS4x processors we no longer support big-endian in any new processor IP, and even for older IP which used to support big-endian it was rarely used... so basically there's no good justification to spend any cycles on big-endian support looking forward in this project. I.e. BE support in uClibc could also be removed if it makes any difference. Therefore, let's removed support for ARC big-endian.

OProfile is a system-wide profiler for Linux systems,
|
|
capable of profiling all running code at low overhead.
|
|
OProfile is released under the GNU GPL.
|
|
|
|
It consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting
|
|
sample data, and several post-profiling tools for turning
|
|
data into information.
|
|
|
|
OProfile leverages the hardware performance counters of the
|
|
CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of interesting
|
|
statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent
|
|
profiling. All code is profiled: hardware and software
|
|
interrupt handlers, kernel modules, the kernel, shared
|
|
libraries, and applications.
