- It's possible to collect system wide symbol information including even JavaVM by specifying just like the below. I mean without any binary image files.
# opreport -lc - It's not simple to collect symbol information of loadable kerel modules. :(
Anyway, oprofile is a really useful tool because in the first place it's a kernel built-in utility. That means we do not need to re-compile nor modify the target kernel. :)
Here are my seeveral things to do.
- Try other CPU events than timer such as TLB miss.
- Establish a how-to to collect lkm (loadable kenel module) information.
- Finish writing up analysis howto for my colleagues.
- Finish writing up analysis scripts of oprofile (human readable) log files.
- etc.
BTW, actually I wrote two analysis scripts on my way back home Today in the train.
I'm wondering whether I should make it public as GPL2 like this one or not because I spent no woking time... :o
Here are several useful links (for Japanese users).
