Not that I know of; I'd love to have one.

You might look at the code that implements procedure tracing; you may
be able to add something to that gracefully. I don't want to
incorporate any interpreter changes that slow down unprofiled code,
but I think one could implement profiling without adding any overhead
beyond what's already there for tracing.
