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. -Will Signed-off-by: William Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com> Tested-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
