OProfile

Hi all:
I tried to run oprofile on SLES9/ppc64 and encounter some problems. The
kernel version is 2.6.5-7.97-pseries64.

1.I used the latest oprofile:
http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/oprofile/oprofile-0.8.1.tar.gz.
2.type ./configure --with-kernel-support
3.make(to compile successfully, you need to run "ln -s
/usr/lib/libpopt.so.1 /usr/lib/libpopt.so") SLES9 don't do it by default.
4.make install
5.opcontrol --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.5-7.97-pseries64
  This is the problem. It will report the following error:
      cpu_type '(null)' is not valid
  I am sure that it is when opcontrol executed "op_help
--get-default-event" that reported this error.
  op_help is an elf32 file installed by oprofile.
6.opcontrol --start
  This will fail to start oprofiled too. It echoed the same error messages
with 5.

I checked /dev/oprofile/ after step 5 and it showed the following:
   .   0  2  4  6  buffer       buffer_watershed  cpu_type  enable
   enable_user  mmcr1  pointer_size
   ..  1  3  5  7  buffer_size  cpu_buffer_size   dump      enable_kernel
   mmcr0        mmcra  stats
cpu_type contained the following line:
      ppc64/power4

Best Regards!

ChangeLog says ppc64 support has been added just after 0.8.1 release, retry with oprofile cvs please. regards, Philippe Elie

Do you think it can be > accessed now by cvs's anonymous? When can it be accessed? right : "2004-11-23 a disk failure on the anonymous CVS server for projects starting with the letters: e, h, i, j, o and v is causing anonymous CVS, ViewCVS and tarballs for these projects to be unavailable. We are currently working on this issue and do not have an ETA for resolution." I put a tarball here http://perso.wanadoo.fr/phil.el/oprofile-0.8.2cvs.tar.gz regards, Philippe Elie
