oprofile for mips 24k

["Mayuresh Chitale" <mchitale@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I could compile oprofile on mips 24k. But when running it, I start it
as mentioned in the
oprofile manual ie setting vmlinux path and using opcontrol script, I
see this output:

# ./bin/opcontrol --start
Detected stale lock file. Removing.
Using 2.6+ OProfile kernel interface.
Reading module info.
Using log file /var/lib/oprofile/oprofiled.log
Daemon started.
Profiler running.

But ps -aef shows oprofiled is not running.

Do we need to do some additional setup / init to get this working?
Any experience/suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,
Mayuresh.
