Hello,
I am doing profiling with command,
operf ./test --events=BR_INST_RETIRED
where test.c is a simple c language file.
then, I am trying to collect information with command
opreport --symbols --debug-info
>From the documents of Oprofile, I assume that the above command lists
profiling result as per the symbols i.e. I can get result showing samples,
linear info, image name and symbol name.
As per my command I expect my file name (test.c) to be in the linear info
and image name, but shows [no location information] in linear info. The
filename does not get listed in image name also.
What is lacking?
I tried to set vmlinux with operf --vmlinux option also where vmlinux file
in in /usr/lib/debug/lib/4*/vmlinux, still the above commands do not list
test file entries.
What is lacking?
Thank you,
Dhara buch

If the test binary does not have debuginfo, opreport cannot resolve that. Me trying with debuginfo: samples % linenr info image name symbol name 10 66.6667 (no location information) no-vmlinux /no-vmlinux 2 13.3333 exact_counts.c:13 exact_counts main 1 6.6667 exact_counts.c:10 exact_counts f_65535x 1 6.6667 exact_counts.c:9 exact_counts f_997x 1 6.6667 (no location information) ld-2.17.so _dl_fini And without: samples % linenr info image name symbol name 10 55.5556 (no location information) no-vmlinux /no-vmlinux 3 16.6667 (no location information) exact_counts f_65535x 2 11.1111 (no location information) exact_counts main 1 5.5556 (no location information) ld-2.17.so _dl_add_to_slotinfo 1 5.5556 (no location information) ld-2.17.so _dl_next_tls_modid 1 5.5556 (no location information) ld-2.17.so _dl_relocate_object Is this the problem you are asking about? > > I tried to set vmlinux with operf --vmlinux option also where vmlinux file in in /usr/lib/debug/lib/4*/vmlinux, still the above commands do not list test file entries. The "--vmlinux" option is there for enabling this for samples obtained in kernelspace. By default (assuming you have no kernel debuginfo available), operf marks all the samples taken in kernel (e.g. your program called a syscall and the sample was taken when the syscall was being executed or you profile systemwide) as "no-vmlinux". This is sufficient if you care about userspace only and not about the "time" spent in kernel. If you care about kernelspace, you need the '--vmlinux' option with correct path specified. > > What is lacking? > > Thank you, > > Dhara buch > > Has this helped?
