The "Invert tree" checkbox was accidentally defaulted to display true when the actual tree wasn't being inverted, causing the checkbox to say the opposite of the tree state initially. This change just brings the visual indicator in line with what the code is actually doing.
Inverting the tree turns all of the innermost stack frames into roots,
allowing them to accumulate their total sample counts with other
instances of the same frame being innermost. This is an essential
feature of any cool profiler, and now we have it. :^)
We begin with a simple treeview that shows a recorded profile.
To record and view a profile of a process with <PID>, simply do this:
$ profile <PID> on
... wait while PID does something interesting ...
$ profile <PID> off
$ cat /proc/profile > my-profile.prof
$ ProfileViewer my-profile.prof
