cpu busy on syscalls fail

[albino_1]

Hi,
I'm using php-cgi on HP-UX 11.31 U 9000/800

My project is a porting from linux machine.

I have seen that on HP-UX the php-cgi get a lot of CPU than Linux.

I used tusc to understand what happen and I have seen a lot of errors message on syscalls.

Could you help me to understand why?

Hi:

By example, the 'errno' value (e.g. #22) and the corresponding mnemonic name ('EINVAL') together with the system call ('readlink()') are given. If you look in the manpages for the system call in question, you will see that EINVAL for readlink() means that the path argument names a file that is not a symbolic link.

Regards!

These are also normal. Every time you use stdio to open a file, it assumes it may be a TTY and goes that ioctl.

so nothing is strange in this tusc trace that can help me to understand Cpu overload?

by the way , thx for very fast answer :))

Where are you spending your CPU time? In the user code or in the OS? What does time(1) show?

If you were on Integrity, you could use caliper to find where you are spending your time.
You could also purchase glance.
