Hello hackers!

I have hopefully two simple questions:

- How can one get assembler listing from a function within gdb?
  (I need to count the real machine instructions in a function)

- How can one do some profiling in kernel (to find out bottle
  necks etc. in my LKM)

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE if that matters. Thanks for your
answer in advance :-)
