If I am not too wrong, I think this is what the picture is like as far as the mips support for oprfile goes: Oprofile 0.9.2 release version supports mips architecture partially. Their release notes says: "Support for MIPS 5K, 20K, 25K, and 34K added." However, support for R10000, R12000, R12000, RM7000, RM9000, SB1 / SB1A, VR5432, VR5500 processors are only available through the CVS checkout: "The R10000, R12000, R12000, RM7000, RM9000, SB1 / SB1A, VR5432, VR5500 processors are supported by the CVS version of the userspace tools; support for further is in the queue." If I am wrong in understanding this, please correct me.

If we want to have oprofile support on mips hardware, do we have to checkout the HEAD revision from oprofile cvs repository or is it already available from the standard 0.9.3 release? Thanks in advance to anyone who can throw any lights on this. Cheers, Ani
