Non-sampling (full instrumentation) mode has been introduced a while ago. Since then we have added sampling that is strictly better than the full instrumentation.
Namely it has less overhead, while providing the same level of actionable information. Moreover the precision vs. overhead trade-off can be controlled with the sampling interval parameter.
It is still technically possible to collect full profile by setting the sampling interval to an extremely low value, e.g. 1 byte.
