OK, thanks. Is the following correct? Before: if (!(entry = create_proc_entry("prof_cpu_mask", 0600, root_irq_dir))) After: entry = create_proc_entry("prof_cpu_mask", 0600, root_irq_dir) if (!entry) BTW, how can i compile only the profile.c file? I would like to verify that my changes (now I'm at total: 2 errors, 1 warnings, 599 lines checked) doesn't impact on the compiled code? Thanks.
