Details

perf is a performance profiling tool for Linux, shipped as a part of kernel source (as kernel profiling interface is private).
There is perf-util in AUR, but this is better suited for [core] (or maybe [extra]), because it's tied to exact kernel version it was built for.
Why? To make Arch Linux better suited for developers. perf provides easy-to-use system-wide sampling profiler, hotspots finding, source code annotation, etc.
