[RFC, Patch 0/1] OProfile for Cell: Initial profiling support --new patch

From: Maynard Johnson
Date: Wed Nov 15 2006 - 13:47:46 EST


Hello,
I will be posting a patch that updates the OProfile kernel driver to enable it for the Cell Broadband Engine processor. The patch is based on Arnd Bergmann's arnd6 patchset for 2.6.18 (http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/arnd/patches/2.6.18-arnd6/), with Kevin Corry's cbe_pmu_interrupt patch on applied on top. Kevin Corry's patch was submitted to the mailing lists earlier today and can be found at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116360639928471&w=2).

I will also post an OProfile userpsace patch to the oprofile-list that adds the necessary support for the Cell processor.

Thanks in advance for your review of this patch.
