Kernel coverage OS11.4 ?
Hi,
I have searched a bit and I can not find a way to make kernel-coverage work.
I would really like to have a kernel pic of the current instal has this machine will be re-installed with the new 12.2.
Anyone ever made Kernel-coverage work and got the picture on OS 11.4 64 bits ?
Regards.

Nope.Originally Posted by malcolmlewis
Not a bit.
I have seen that before.
lcov does not work.
The make command runs perfectly on OS11.4 64 bits but takes a Huge time to stop, about 14 hours on my q9550 ...
And then the final image.ps is empty ...
There are no error messages whatsoever.
Regards.

Doesn't sound right, the README (You have read this too?) says about
30mins on 400Mhz celeron....
Or which specific command in the README isn't working?

Re: Kernel coverage OS11.4 ?
Hi,
README ?!?!? Why bother with those pesky details ...??
(just kidding, I read the readme).
the main command :
when we issue the
It does not give any error, it runs like hell all the time listing every possible kernel file from drivers to the more inner timmers related stuff ...Code:sudo make kernel=/sr/src/linux-<version>
But in the end the image.ps file, about 20MB, can not be opened with any ps editor or viewer ?!?
And the final step to make the poster, posterize also does not even output Any type of gz file as advertized on the readme.
If you ask me .... "It ain't workin" ...
Regards.

Sounds like it....!!! BTW if you use the -jN (N=cpus) option after the
make command, it should parallel build? Tweak the makefile so it only
build part of the coverage map to see if errors can be isolated?
Or manually run through the commands in the makefile to try and
isolate where the errors are
Maybe raise a bug?
I also wonder if an old 2.6.x kernel source is downloaded and run
against if that works?
Finally, you don't need to run as super user (sudo) to use make....

Re: Kernel coverage OS11.4 ?
Hi,
- Kernel sources are installed
- you must make sudo in order to have permissions to write the many many .ps files on the /usr/lib/kernel-coverage dir.
- -jN option (in my case -j4) does not help. Any script command to run parallel always depends on the Software that is actually being executed. In this case Analyzing one by one every Kernel file is not a parallel process.
- There are no errors in the entire output.
I really think the problem here is the output .ps files ... none of them opens in any ps editor or viewer. So they are not output .ps files. something must be very wrong on the format of those files.
Regards.

then something is wrong with the source!
you should *always* (see footnote) run make as a user and then 'make
install' as root (or as user if you want it installed just for the user
running 'make install' (that is, only need to run 'make install' if you
want all users on the machine to access the app... (been that way since
way last century)
*always* unless someone builds an app wrongly.

No, nothing is wrong, this is how kernel sources are distributed. They
are made to be used by root. To use them as plain user you have to
previously chown or chmod the entire tree, and this is not documented.

Run "file" on those files and find out what they are. Maybe they are ps
files with a large preamble and no contents.
