Yes, the last comment is a little old. I've not had the
time to dedicate to this project lately. So, if you're so
inclined, you sure can hack it yourself (it's somewhat
involved, definitely not a one-liner).
A few comments to keep in mind: 1) I'd like to support both
2.4 and 2.6 oprofile systems and detection of this should be
automatic (i.e. no command...

Any news on this ... The last comment I see is several
months old.
What is involved in getting this working for 2.6 kernels?
Perhaps I can hack it myself?.

Yes, there are in fact a number of changes that need to be
done in order to support 2.6 kernels. I do plan on
implementing this in the near future; however, the time
frame is a trade off between user demand and time available.

I'm kind of surprized not having found anything
reported about this, but here's what happens when I try
prospect on my 2.6 system:

Hi Johan,
Thanks for the reply. I've been working on adding 2.6
support to prospect and in the process uncovered a bug in
the 2.4 version where kernel modules may not be sorted
correctly. This would not explain why /dev/zero was in the
kernel profile; however, it could provide for an unaccurate
and perhaps strange kernel profile if modules were in heavy...

Just as you suspect, I've kind of lost interest in this over
time. It's not a big deal, and I haven't seen it while
profiling something with actual debug data in it.
If I see similar problems in the future, I'll add the debug
data you asked for below to this bug report.
When I ran this, I ran it "inside of" Prospect, i.e.
"prospect flightgear". The...
