[linuxtools-dev] OProfile error in "timer interrupt" mode

[Marc Dumais <marc.dumais@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When I try to use OProfile through the eclipse plug-in, I get the 
following error message on the shell on which I started eclipse:

"You cannot specify any performance counter eventsbecause OProfile is in 
timer mode."

In Eclipse, I get this error dialog:

"FATAL: An error occured running opcontrol.   Reason:  Exit code of 
opcontrol indicates failure".

In this scenario, I force the "timer interrupt mode" by doing "modprobe 
oprofile timer=1", since the NMI mode doesn't seem to work for me (runs, 
but captures no event), maybe because I run in an emulated environment 
(VirtualBox).

Any idea or suggestions?   Should I fill-in a bug report?


Thanks,

Marc
