Installing sampling driver for Vtune profiler

[preeth]

I was able to build the drivers by running ./build-driver -ni -pu as mentioned in Build and Install the Sampling Drivers for Linux* Targets (intel.com).

When I try to install them using /insmod-sep -r I get,

the following ouput:

grep: /usr/lib/os-release: No such file or directory
PYTHON is set to python

Warning: the following driver(s) were not found loaded in the kernel: sep5.

Warning: no vtsspp driver was found loaded in the kernel.

Warning: no socwatch driver was found loaded in the kernel.

Warning: the following driver(s) were not found loaded in the kernel: socperf3.

The PAX service is not loaded anymore.

ERROR: sep5 driver "sep5-x32_64-5.3.18-57-defaultsmp.ko"
was not found in directory "." !

This means you may need to build sep5 driver from the provided
driver sources. Please see the driver README for instructions.

Note: Ensure that the driver is built for kernel version 5.3.18-57-default

I am trying to run memory access in VTune, Is there any other way other than installing sampling driver? If I have to install how do I go about it?

thanks

VTune supports both driver-based sampling and driverless collection,  the driverless functionality has some limitations below:

Did you check if there is the driver of sep5-x32_64-5.3.18-57-defaultsmp.ko in your local path?
