Hi, All, 

I have gotten some problems to run oprofile. Could anybody help me out? thanks in advance.

My system is Intel DuoCore (64bit). CPU family: 6, Model 15, Model name: Xeon (5150 @2.66 GHz). System is running SL5.0.

When I check the Profile's CPU type, "cat /dev/oprofile/cput_type" shows "i386/core_2". Is this correct? But my system is 64bit.

Also, I set Oprofile to profile different events such as L1I_MISSES" , but "Opreport" keeps on giving me the result of the event "CPU_CLK_UNHALTED". Anything wrong?

Some results are as follows:

[root@wan-koi oprofile]# opcontrol --reset
[root@wan-koi oprofile]# opcontrol --start

....runing my application......

[root@wan-koi oprofile]# opcontrol --dump

[root@wan-koi oprofile]# opcontrol --status
