OPROFILE can't get performance data

问题


I am using OPROFILE to collect some performance data. but I got in troubule.

Here is my shell:

~ # rm -f /root/.oprofile/daemonrc
~ # opcontrol --setup --no-vmlinux
~ # opcontrol --init
~ # opcontrol --reset
~ # opcontrol --start
~ # opcontrol --status

Daemon running: pid 14909    
Separate options: none
vmlinux file: none    
Image filter: none    
Call-graph depth: 0

~ # opcontrol --shutdown

Stopping profiling.
Killing daemon.

~ # opreport

error: no sample files found: profile specification too strict?

Some CPU types do not provide the needed hardware support to use the hardware performance counters. On these machines, OProfile falls back to using the timer interrupt for profiling, back to using the real-time clock interrupt to collect samples.

you can force use of the timer interrupt by using the timer=1 module parameter.If OProfile was built as a kernel module, then you must pass the 'timer=1' parameter with the modprobe command. Do this before executing 'opcontrol --init' or edit the opcontrol command's invocation of modprobe to pass the 'timer=1' parameter

modprobe oprofile timer=1

Then continue your profiling procedure

I ran into a similar problem on a RHEL6 based distribution. At some point, I started using perf with which I was able to get profiler reports and annotated source code.
