Using oprofile Is it possible to profile how many
times a function say try_to_unmap_cluster() is called
within the kernel in a certain time interval ?
If yes, then how ?
What settings are needed for that.

No. That's not possible with oprofile.
To get something like that I hack the code and use relayfs to transfer
the data to user-space.
Note, the examples for relayfs show using sprintf to generate text
output. *Don't* do that. Use binary buffers and translate them to text
off-line in user-mode. sprintf is awfully inefficient for large amounts
of data.
