Oprofile on 2.6.14 ARM processor: msg#00015

Subject: Oprofile on 2.6.14 ARM processor
Hi

We're trying to  profile the starting of an application
and we'd like better resolution than that offered by using
the 100 Hz tick interrupt.

Is there a way to get a higher sampling rate without
changing the system tick rate?
Can the RTC be used for this in the 2.6 kernel?

If profiling hardware support were available, is there a
timer somewhere that does the sampling?  If so, which timer?

BTW: It an Intel Xscale PXA321 using 2.6.16 and while the
processor has hardware support, we've not yet added support
for the part to the kernel.

thanks
Bob Smith
