Hello,
I was successful in applying the profile patch on
2.4.0 SMP (i386) and was able to use it to collect
an acg. [BTW, great performance analysis tool].
So I created another build tree for 2.4.0 and turned off
SMP support. I turned on APIC support. As before, I also
turned on "char devices/kernel profiling support",
"hacking/frame pointers" and "hacking/mcount".
I get a build failure in devices/char/profile.c.
I needed to add "#include asm/smp.h" to remove the
build failure.
[I have not tried the kernel yet, so I do not know if it
functions correctly].
Bug in the patch or did I not select the correct options ?
Thanks,
