We can always fix the user space tool later, but it is important to get at least the kernel interface right, so we can add the functionality later without breaking new user space on old kernels or vice versa. > It would require an altogether =20 > different mechanism to record samples along with necessary information,=20 > not to mention the changes required in the post-processing tools. =A0This= =20 > will have to be a future enhancement. So what do you do with the samples for object_id =3D=3D 0? I would expect t= hem to be simply added to the sample buffer for the kernel, which is sort of special in oprofile anyway. Arnd <>< |
