Re: testers wanted for PAPI / FreeBSD

Hello,

I'm porting PAPI to FreeBSD. I was wondering if you could give a try to
the package I'm porting. It would be great to have more feedback than just
that my laptop is able to provide me :)

First of all, you can download the code at

http://code.google.com/p/papi-for-freebsd

Next, see man hwpmc(4) and compile a kernel with
options HWPMC_HOOKS
device hwpmc

(you'll require device apic if you're running on i386 machines).

When you boot your dmesg should print something like
hwpmc: TSC/1/0x20<REA> P6/2/0x1fe<USR,SYS,EDG,THR,REA,WRI,INV,QUA>

Once the machine is up and running, just untar the file you've downloaded,
run ./configure and just run make (not make install).

Could you send me the output of the following commands?

# dmesg | grep hwpmc
# utils/papi_avail
# utils/papi_decode
# utils/papi_native_avail
# ctests/low-level
# ctests/high-level

Thank you very much,

Hi Harald. I have an error while running configure script:

as_func_failure succeeded.
as_func_failure succeeded.

However module is there:

And i have all required options in kernel config:

quetzal@orion:~/bugs> grep -i PMC /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC-PMC <890>
device hwpmc # Driver (also a loadable module)
options HWPMC_HOOKS # Other necessary kernel hooks
