Hi Alan,
Looking at the kernel driver code for oprofile it can return the "i386/p6" for
the cpu_type. However, looking at the user-space oprofile code there isn't the
matching entry in libop/op_cpu_type.c or the events/unit_mask files in
events/i386 directory.
The Intel AP-485 says this is a "Intel Pentium M processor model D". Seems like
the oprofile kernel driver should be identifying the processor as "i386/p6_mobile"
The driver identification code doesn't look quite right in nmi_init.c
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=blob;f=arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c;h=022cd41ea9b4106e5884277096e80e9088a7c7a9;hb=HEAD
has:
409 case 10 ... 13:
410 *cpu_type = "i386/p6";
411 break;
Referring to the Intel AP-485:
case 10 and 11 should produce "i386/piii"
case 13 should produce "i386/p6_mobile"
I didn't see anything for case 12.
Something like the attached patch. I don't have a celeron machine to verify that
changes in this area of the kernel fix thing.
