Agreed. Linux perf tools are perfectly acceptable for all but the most ultra-extreme optimization tasks.
VTune allows you to determine where pipeline stalls are occurring at the instruction level (for that last 2 or 3% gain in performance). I haven't worked with ARM profilers (way out of my price range), but I assume, given the exorbitant price, they provide the same sort of in-depth analysis. Probably a handful of people on the planet that need that kind of in-depth analysis.
