The error "failed to show source and assembly code"

[zhengda1936]

Hello,

I tried to use VTune to profile the hardware events in the kernel. After profiling, Bottom-up shows me all the functions and event counts. When I double clicked a kernel function to see the source code, it shows "Failed toshow source and assembly code".

I have specified search directories in Project Properties. I put both /boot and /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/linux-source-2.6.38 for Source files and Symbol files. I also enabled "Compile the kernel with debug info". I don't know what else I should do.

Furthermore, I want to find out where the kernel functions are called. For example, I'm profiling bus invalidate events, and VTune shows me __ticket_spin_lock causes most invalidation. It's kind of expected. So it's more interesting to see where it is called. Can VTune show me that?

Thanks,

Da

Hope this article can help.

Thanks. It works. I guess I didn't click Re-resolve button when I specified the Linux build directory.
