Hi,

The patch looks reasonable and it has been merged into the upstream oprofile git master repository.

[PATCH] Add Broadcom Brahma-B53 CPU implementor and part number

[Florian F. <flo...@br...>]

Broadcom's Brahma-B53 CPU features a PMU which is 100% software
compatible with those found on Cortex-A53 designs. Add the required
code to recognize the implementor id (0x42) and the Brahma-B53 part
number (0x100) and return "arm/armv8-ca53" so we can utilize the PMU.

Re: Help needed

[Giri P. <sha...@gm...>]

Thanks a lot Will and William for your responses. My apologies for being
novice in this aspect:

1) My program looks like this. [Just to learn operf]
























*#include <iostream>using namespace std;void fun1(){  for(auto i = 0; i <
1000000000; i++) {     std::cout << "Fun1" << endl;  }}void fun2(){
for(auto i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {     std::cout << "Fun2" << endl;
}}int main(){   fun1();   fun2();}*


2) I ran the command : *operf -g ./a.out*

3) It ran for almost 20 minutes and then I killed the process.

4) Can you please let me know how to run opreport to : get the call graph *with
details of Functions fun1 and fun2 *with details such as *how many cycles
they consumed, how many times they're called* etc.

Regards,
Giri Prasad

Most likely the program did not run long enough or simply did not
trigger any DATA_MEM_REFS events.

Does opreport give you any output if
you leave off the "event:" qualifier?

Hi,

By default operf is going to use a clock cycle event to record samples .   You should see samples if you do "opreport".  However, if the program runs for a very short amount of time there might not be enough events (cycles) to trigger a sample.  If you want to get samples of the DATA_MEM_REFS you are going to need to specify the events with the --events / -e option for operf:


https://oprofile.sourceforge.io/doc/controlling-profiler.html#controlling-operf

You might also consider using linux perf:

1) I installed operf in linux machine, below is the version:

operf: oprofile 1.3.0 compiled on Feb  2 2020 20:33:34

2) I wrote a simple program and ran : *operf ./a.out*

3) it generated the folder: *oprofile_data*

4) when i run opreport as below:

fs/* side is trivial (and trivially correct).

The oprofile daemon that used the older oprofile kernel support was removed before OProfile 1.0 release by the following commit in August 2014:

https://sourceforge.net/p/oprofile/oprofile/ci/0c142c3a096d3e9ec42cc9b0ddad994fea60d135

At this point it makes sense to clean up the kernel and remove this unused code.
