And no, blindly subtracting 16 from IP is not a fix.
Who mentioned a fix ? I am only giving more fuel to Intel guys so they
hopefully can give us a working oprofile.

You would need to implement PEBS support to avoid that problem. But it's a big
task. perfmon2 implements it already.


Thanks for the information.

Hum, so I grabbed perfmon2 git tree, installed various tools...

I am quite new to pfmon and tried :

# pfmon --system-wide
sizeof=64 44
<press ENTER to stop session>

Then started "tbench 8", and got a kernel panic after 6 seconds.


I was using oprofile like this

opcontrol --vmlinux=/path/vmlinux --start
// doing some benchmarking...
opreport -l vmlinux | head -n 40


What would be a working equivalent for perfmon2 based tools ?

Thanks
