如何使用树莓派时钟计数进行性能测量

Question

我在Raspberry Pi上进行性能测量，并希望获得更高的分辨率，然后只是clock_gettime（）。

因此，我需要启用CPU寄存器PMUSERENR。

根据我的Raspberry Pi上的/ proc/cpuinfo，我有一个“ARMv7处理器rev 5（v7l）”。所以，我下载的架构参考手册，发现我必须使用：

CRn的= C9，OPC1 = 0，CRM = C14，OPC2 = 0

asm ("MCR p15, 0, %0, C9, C14, 0\n\t" :: "r"(1)); 

但一个内核模块中使用此代码时，我得到以下哎呀：

我是新内核模块，所以我不知道我应该去哪个方向。有没有一种好的方法来调试这些东西？

Linux内核附带一个PMU驱动程序。你可以利用它。我会为你写一篇教程，但为什么重新发明轮子，当这家伙解释得这么好： http://www.carbondesignsystems.com/virtual-prototype-blog/using-the-arm-performance-monitor-unit-pmu-linux-driver
