Hi David, I tried the task_diag on my platform, but it shows error message when I run perf top. " Message handling failed: rc -1, errno 25". And it looks perf top failed to get maps information. 20.88% [unknown] [.] 0x00000000004992c4 6.77% [unknown] [.] 0x000000000048f9e7 4.92% [unknown] [.] 0x000000000043789c 4.68% [unknown] [.] 0x0000003002f32918 4.31% [unknown] [.] 0x00000000004992d6 1.85% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock 1.84% [unknown] [.] 0x00000000004d8190 1.84% [unknown] [.] 0x00000000004378ad 1.40% [kernel] [k] clear_page_c_e 1.23% [unknown] [.] 0x00000000004992d0 1.23% [unknown] [.] 0x00000000004378cf I installed the task_diag kernel and libnl3-3.2.22-3.
