Here is a slightly tweaked version of the above that I have partially 
implemented.  bench.c is src/scripts/probe_perf/bench.c with -DLOOP=10


global A

probe perf.type(0).config(0).thread("z") {
}

probe process("./bench.x").statement("main@bench.c:1140")
{
   A <<< @perf("z")
}

probe process("./bench.x").statement("main@bench.c:1144")
{
   A <<< @perf("z")
}

probe end
{
   print (@hist_log(A))
}
