no sample when profiling ARM Cortex-A9 with Linux kernel 3.3

[RocChen <sin...@gm...>]

Hello, every one:
  I am a newer to the oprofile and I met some problems with the oprofile.

I was profiling some applications on the Zynq board (with a dual core
Cortex-A9 integratd, Linux kernel 3.3, linaro 12.01 file system).

1. First, I installed the oproile with apt-get, the oprofile version was
0.9.6.
    I ran the following command lists;
    > opcontrol --init
    > opcontrol --setup --event=CPU_CYCLES:1000 --separate=all --no-vmlinux
   > opcontrol --start-daemon
   > opcontrol  --start
   > // here my program, namely the jpg2000dec, jpg2000enc, mpeg2dec...
  > opcontrol --stop
  > opcontrol --dump
  > opreport

The opreport reported that no sample had been got.

2. Then I deleted all in /var/lib/oprofile and the /root/.oprofile/*,
reboot the machine, rerun commands above.
The opreport for all applications :

CPU: ARM Cortex-A9, speed 1998 MHz (estimated)
Counted CPU_CYCLES events (Number of CPU cycles) with a unit mask of 0x00
(No unit mask) count 1000
samples  %        image name               symbol name
10000    100.000  no-vmlinux               /no-vmlinux

but no sample for functions in the applications.

3. I download the oprofile0.9.7 source file and compiled on the board, then
profile with it, the results ware the same with the oprofile0.9.6.
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure
> # to configure with kernel 3.3 header, run: ln -sf generated/autogen.h
linux/autogen.sh
> make
> make install
4. so does the oprofile 0.9.8 version compiled from source.

BTW, if I run: dmesg | grep oprofile, it gives:
oprofile: using arm/armv7-ca9

So I am wondering whether I was running something wrong setups or the
oprofile is now not supportting the kernel 3.3 version ?

Hope I have describled the situation clearly.
Any replies are appreciated~~
