The above suggestion would not work if SPU_FS is not defined, since the
entire config option is ignored if an undefined symbol is used. So,
here's what I propose instead:
- Leave the existing 'config OPROFILE' unchanged from its current
form in mainline (shown below)
- Add the new 'config OPROFILE_CELL' (shown below)
- In arch/powerpc/configs/cell-defconfig, set CONFIG_OPROFILE=m, to
correspond to setting for CONFIG_SPU_FS
- In arch/powerpc/oprofile/Makefile, do the following:
oprofile-$(CONFIG_OPROFILE_CELL) += op_model_cell.o \

cell/spu_profiler.o cell/vma_map.o cell/spu_task_sync.o

===========
config OPROFILE
tristate "OProfile system profiling (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on PROFILING
help
OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
and applications.

If unsure, say N.

config OPROFILE_CELL
bool "OProfile for Cell Broadband Engine"
depends on OPROFILE && SPU_FS
default y if ((SPU_FS = y && OPROFILE = y) || (SPU_FS = m &&
OPROFILE = m))
help
Profiling of Cell BE SPUs requires special support enabled
by this option. Both SPU_FS and OPROFILE options must be
set 'y' or both be set 'm'.
=============

Can anyone see a problem with any of this . . . or perhaps a suggestion
of a better way?

Thanks.
