Oprofile test suite

[Kumar Sharad-r. <sha...@fr...>]

I've ported Oprofile to a Freescale ARM based platform running Linux.
All tool options run and I am able to collect statistics both using the
default timer and using the hardware performance counters on the
hardware.  I had two questions:

1.  Is there a way to ensure that Oprofile is correctly ported.  Is
there a test suite of some sort that one can use?

2. Is there a way to synchronize the start and stop of Oprofile with the
execution of a test application? I want my window of profiling to
exactly coincide with the application run time. So far, I've had to
manually start oprofile in one window and the test application in
another, and try to get as close as possible to starting them together.
Is there a better way to do this synchronization?=20

Thanks,
Sharad
