Oprofile Results vs Dynamic tracing tool based on Kprobes

[Sabra G. <sab...@ya...>]

Hi,
I 'm trying to compare results generated by Oprofile in one side and by a dynamic tracing tool based on Kprobes on other sides. I used both to test the same use case.
Oprofile show 84% of idle time (poll_idle function) however only 63% with the tracing tool .
Oprofile and the tracing tool don't give the same kind of results but I'm able to compute in percentage idle time for the tracing tool (by inspecting the process with pid 0).
At the end I'am confusing why the results are different between the two tools.

Regards
