Subject: kernel profiler in 2.5.
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 01:14:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D44F94D.E6F949AE@zip.com.au> (raw)
The kernel profiler broke quite some time ago. It's actually
a problem with readprofile(8). It doesn't like the weak
symbols in System.map:
c011fb04 T notifier_call_chain
c011fb44 T register_reboot_notifier
c011fb5c T unregister_reboot_notifier
c011fb74 T sys_ni_syscall
c011fb74 W sys_acct
c011fb74 W sys_quotactl
c011fb80 t proc_sel
c011fc28 T sys_setpriority
Here's a quick fix. There are probably smarter ways...

And now HZ has been set to 1000, the resolution is awfully
good. The `-M' multiplier thing we added is overkill now.
