The profiling build target in hotspot was deleted because they
were not being used and I believe were not building correctly.

As this mainly concerns GC profiling I've cc'ed the GC list.

Hi,
I need to measure some performance (mostly running time) of GC (CMS)
while running on multi-core platform on Linux. I want to break down
the cost of each phase in CMS and some related method. And I am
thinking of performance profiling tool to do that.
I have look at the build files and see that there used to be some
"profiled" target for profiling hotspot. However, it was removed now
(don't know why).
Now, I am looking for a way to do the profiling. As my experience
with profiling the hotspot on Windows (using Visual Studio), the
generated of profiling data is huge (2-6GB) and in many cases, my
computer could not handle the analysis of profiling data. In
addition, hotspot's code and its build are quite complex, I want to
consult some opinions first before actually do it.
I am grateful if you can suggest a way to build the hotspot on Linux
for profiling purpose.
Thank you,
Nhan Nguyen
