Uhhh, because I wrote the code and told you ;)


Additional challenges in the code you're looking at are that there are
multiple symbols named .loop and .loop2, and that oprofile's default
report merges them.

To find them, grep in gnuradio-core/src/lib/filter/*.S

You could also use a static analysis tool (grep would work) to find
all the potential callers.  I haven't had any success with oprofile
and the call graph, but I haven't spend more than a few minutes with
it.  If you use the gprof options, you're going to be running
instrumented code.

I'd ask over on the oprofile mailing list.  If you get an answer,
please let us know.
