I just posted a rather unruly (but functional) set of patches with the cover
letter title of "RFC: ARM Semihosting, PMU, and BBV Changes". These changes
include support for collecting block vectors, which are nothing more than
accumulating instruction counts broken per block (and interval). While I would
guess there are probably much better ways to implement the same functionality,
perhaps it's a starting point.
