Using oprofile Is it possible to profile how many

If yes, then how ?
What settings are needed for that.

No. That's not possible with oprofile.

To get something like that I hack the code and use relayfs to transfer the data to user-space.

Note, the examples for relayfs show using sprintf to generate text output. *Don't* do that. Use binary buffers and translate them to text off-line in user-mode. sprintf is awfully inefficient for large amounts of data.
