Abstract
An information handling system includes a memory, a processor, and an instruction tracking unit. The processor executes program code and, while the program code executes, the instruction tracking unit decodes a multi-purpose no-op instruction within the program code. In turn, the instruction tracking unit sends an interrupt to the processor, which invokes a profiling module to collect and store profiling data in a profiling buffer.
