Ah, OK.

That code seems to have a lot of infrastructure for buffering samples,
transferring it to userspace, etc.

Have you looked into using the infrastructure in drivers/oprofile/ for
this? In other words: is it possible to augment the kernel's existing
oprofile capabilities so they meet VTune requirements?
