使用oprofile查找性能瓶颈

1>确定以下内核选项已选定:

CONFIG_OPROFILE

CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC

CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC

CONFIG_PCI_IOAPIC

2> oprofile 命令

opcontrol --init #加载模块

opcontrol --vmlinux=/path/vmlinux #是否对kernel进行profiling
opcontrol --reset #清除当前会话中的数据
opcontrol --start #开始profiling

./progam #运行应用程序，oprofile会对它进行profiling

opcontrol --dump #把收集到的数据写入文件
opcontrol --stop #停止profiling
opcontrol --shutdown #关闭守护进程oprofiled
opcontrol --deinit #卸载模块

opcontrol -l # 列出当前可用监控事件.


opreport -l # 列出当前内核性能统计信息.
opannotate -s ./program # 列出引用程序性能统计信息

3. 问题处理

1> # ./opcontrol --init
grep: /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
Kernel support not available, missing opcontrol --init as root ? 错误怎么解决？
# mount -o remount rw /
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
# touch /etc/mtab
# echo nodev /dev/oprofile oprofilefs rw 0 0>/etc/mtab

2> #./opcontrol --init
Kernel support not available, missing opcontrol --init as root ? 错误怎么解决？
检查/etc/mtab文件内容，确保是nodev /dev/oprofile oprofilefs rw 0 0

3> # opcontrol --init
opcontrol --init
cat: can't open '/dev/oprofile/cpu_type': No such file or directory
Unable to open cpu_type file for reading
Make sure you have done opcontrol --init
cpu_type 'unset' is not valid
you should upgrade oprofile or force the use of timer mode 错误怎么解决？
执行
# mount -t oprofilefs nodev /dev/oprofile
4> # opcontrol --start
mkdir: can't create directory '/var/': Read-only file system
Couldn't mkdir -p /var/lib/oprofile 错误怎么解决？
执行
# mount -o remount rw /
