hi,
     I'm profiling some part of kernel code.Mine profiling mechanism
is based on rdtsc instruction.

Please tell me if i'm profiling correctly.I'm teting linux kernel
2.6.15 and mine system is P4.

	unsigned long long c1,c2,c3,c4,c5;
	before=readtsc();
	before=readtsc();
	before=readtsc();
	overhead=readtsc()-before;
	c1=testfunc();
	c2=testfunc();
	c3=testfunc();
	c4=testfunc();
	c5=testfunc();

printk(" \n *c1 = %llu c2= %llu c3 = %llu c4 = %llu c5 = %llu overhead
=%llu",cycles1,cycles2,cycles3,cycles4,cycles5,overhead);
