about __NR_perf_event_open

asadgul81

Hi

I am new to linux.

I downloaded and compiled the kernel source 2.6.33.1 (ubuntu 9.1) successfully. The purpose was that I could use the sys call __NR_perf_event_open.

This sys call is available in the kernel_source/arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_32/64.h

However when I compiled the source, this sys call is not present in

$HOME/usr/include/asm/unistd_32/64.h

Interestingly, when I use Vmware as guest in windows and compiled the same source, the sys call is available in $HOME/usr/include/asm/unistd_32/64.h

I need to use __NR_perf_event_open (in a stand alone system i.e. just linux) or __NR_perf_counter_open

What should I do? Its been the whole weekend I been trying. Please help me.

Regards

Gul
