Target Milestone: ---

Hi all,

We are using Intel ApolloLake AtomE3930 SOC with goldmont microarchitecture.

Buildroot configure file contains the BR2_x86_64=y. When we starting the operf, we get following error:

oprofile: could not open unit mask description file /usr/share/oprofile//i386/goldmont/unit_masks Unable to find info for event cpu_clk_unhalted

It looks for me a problem in OPROFILE_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS. It copies the x86-64 for our SOC, but oprofile awaits them at i386 Architecture, s.

Best Regards,
Sergey

--- Comment #2 from Sergey <[email protected]> --- Hi Fabrice,

Built and tested right now, it works.
I think yours patch is easy solution. All events files take 2.8M. For some applications it could be a wasted space, but it is working solution, if someone wanna save the flash space (for example me), he can write own OPROFILE_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Sergey
