Dear All, I am a user of oprofile. When I use oprofile, I find some problems. Could you please help me?
I have some questions about the open source code of the implementation of oprofile in linux kernel 2.6.26, which is presented op_model_fsl_emb.c, and the path in linux kernel source tree is arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_fsl_emb.c. To present this question more clearly, It needs the following steps: 1> I give some cpu event and its counter values, which finally will call the function fsl_emb_reg_setup 2> I execute setup, which finally will call the function fsl_emb_cpu_setup 3> I execute start, which finally will call the function fsl_emb_start 4> After calling start, the MPC8560 CPU will continuing increasing the PMCn value until its value reach 0x80000000. Basing on what metioned in E500CORERM.pdf, this value should cause a exception, and should goto the interrupt routine:fsl_emb_handle_interrupt. But in fact, It never goto this interrupt routine! It always cause a reboot without any information! But while we using MPC7450 CPU, this situation never happened, it works well. Basing on the information metioned above, my questions are: 1> Is there any bug in op_model_fsl_emb.c and its related source code? 2> If possible, could you please tell me what the reason it is? And How to use op_model_fsl_emb.c correctly? Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks & regards Jike 2009-05-11 0x0000
