First of all, thanks for oprofile ! It's the first tool I can really use to profile my app, with a ton of dynamically loaded plugins and without having to link everything statically... But, it there any sane way to use it as non-root user ? Is there any alternative ? I'm even thinking of suid'ing opcontrol. I tried sysprof, but it locks the machine as soon as I load the module. I use the latest -mm kernel. Any ideas ? TIA -- J.A.
