Vtune vmlinux unresolved address

[boriwalanirmal]

Hey every one

I am using to profile my application but most of theCPUtime is consumed by "vmlinux unresolved address".

Can anybody help me understand why is thishappening.

I am using Intel 2*quad core 5300.

Thanx for reading.

My comments -

1. Most of samples (CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.CORE) were dropped in vmlinux, that means target application is not very busy during sampling data collection. Linux* system modules provide service, e.g. IDLE handler.

2. Unresolved address, I know that usually was caused byCompressedLinux* kernel module used.

Regards, Peter

Hello Peter

Ya you are right its that, Vtune looks for vmlinux and my system has vmlinuz.

Can you help me resolve it.

thanx

"vmlinuz" means that you are using Linux compressed Linux* kernel.

VTune Performance Analyzer shows my Linux* modulelikeas "vmlinux-2.6.18-9.el5". So please work (boot from) on uncompressed Linux* system.

Thanks, Peter
