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:

HWPMC module seems not
to be on the kernel. Have you compiled the kernel with HWPMC? (see hwpmc(4))

However module is there:

quetzal@viking:~/bugs> cat papi.bug
<1959> root@orion:~/papi# kldstat -v | grep hwpmc
<848> 135 hwpmc

root@orion:~/bugs# uname -a
<853> FreeBSD orion.zone3000.net 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Jun 4 19:33:59 EEST 2007 ro@orion.zone3000.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC-PMC i386

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
