            <h3>Running gprof and gcov</h3>
          </center>

gprof and gcov support in UML is present in  <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=429">CVS</a>  as of 
17 Apr 2001.  I sent it to Alan for inclusion in 
the ac tree, and it will be in my 2.4.4 release.

<a name="gprof"/><table width="100%" bgcolor="#e0e0e0">
            <tr>
              <td>
                <b>
                  <font color="black">gprof</font>
                </b>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>
          <blockquote head="gprof">
To use gprof with UML, you do the following
<ul>
<li>
Configure with gprof support - this is &quot;enable gprof support&quot; under &quot;Kernel
Hacking&quot;.  You'll need to turn on &quot;kernel debugging symbols&quot; first.
</li>
<li>
Build UML.
</li>
<li>
Boot it up and run your tests in it.
</li>
<li>
Halt it, and the standard gmon.out file will be written out.  Run gprof as
you would with any other process
<blockquote>
                  <tt>
                    <font color="#000000">gprof linux</font>
                  </tt>
                </blockquote>
and you will get the standard reams of gprof output.
</li>
</ul>
<a href="text/gprof1.out">Here</a> is gprof output from
several hours of a thrashing UML.  There is some commentary on it in
<a href="diary.html#10-03-2001">this entry</a> of
the UML <a href="diary.html">diary</a>.

<a name="gcov"/><table width="100%" bgcolor="#e0e0e0">
            <tr>
              <td>
                <b>
                  <font color="black">gcov</font>

          <blockquote head="gcov">
Using gcov with UML is similar:
<ul>
<li>
Configure with gprof support - this is &quot;enable gcov support&quot; under &quot;Kernel
Hacking&quot;.  You'll need to turn on &quot;kernel debugging symbols&quot; first.
</li>
<li>
Build UML.
</li>
<li>
Boot it up and run your tests in it.
</li>
<li>
Halt UML, and every file in the kernel that has coverage data will get a 
'file.da' file.  In order to see what coverage of a particular file you
achieved with your tests, run
<blockquote>
                  <tt>
                    <font color="#000000">gcov file.c</font>
                  </tt>
                </blockquote>
This will produce 'file.c.gcov', which is 'file.c' annotated with line-by-line
coverage information.
</li>
</ul>
