Perhaps the wording was a bit strong, and I apologize for that.  I perhaps
should have prefaced
it with some kudos to the intel team for encouraging people to look at their
systems as a whole,
and measure such things.

However I do stand by my assessment that it is way less than ideal to
include new static hooks
to measure this information.

Cheers,

Colin

I'm not a member of the linux LatencyTOP team. 
I haven't gotten a chance to see how is this tool implemented. 
But I totally disagree with you about it's a shame. 
Regardless of internal implementation, It's interesting and be very useful. 
At least, for end users, it helps to visualize system latencies.
