From 1a960b402a51d80abf54e3f8e4972374ffe5f22d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Yeh Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:05:53 +0200 Subject: Oprofile Multiplexing Patch This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice. It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through /dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.
