初次使用oprofile

早就想试试oprofile，这几天简单的试了一下最基本的功能。

由于条件限制只能在虚拟机上实验。

 

1. 下载oprofile工具，加压后编译，安装

./configure --with-kernel-support

make

make install

 

2. 加载模块

insmod /lib/modules/kernel/xxx/arch/x86/oprofile/oprofile.ko timer=1

虚拟机的cpu上没有计数器，所以只能用时钟中断timer=1

 

3. 测试代码性能

[root@localhost app]# opcontrol --init
[root@localhost app]# opcontrol --vmlinux=/home/ping/works/linux/linux-2.6.37/vmlinux
[root@localhost app]# opcontrol --start
Using 2.6+ OProfile kernel interface.

[root@localhost app]# ./01
[root@localhost app]# opcontrol --stop

[root@localhost app]# opcontrol --shutdown
Killing daemon.

[root@localhost app]# opannotate --source 01

4. 总结

177 86.7647 : for (i=0;i<0xffffff;i++) 本条语句运行177个时钟中断
27 13.2353 : j++; 本条语句运行27个中断

基本用法算是掌握，但是用时钟中断计数不太准，所以在虚拟机上也就是试试用法。
