[Xen-users] FW: oprofile 0.9.3 xen symbols incorrect

Hi

 

I am using oprofile 0.9.3 on xen cs 16540 on an Intel system.

 

When I look at the top "hot" functions, I see p2m_change_type being
one
of the top function in xen-syms. This function is only in the svm (AMD)
code and should not appear on an Intel system. I see that this function
is not being clled at all when I am running my apps as I have put printk
in the functions and they do not show up anywhere in the dmesg. 

 

Is it possible that oprofile is picking up the symbols from elsewhere?
The /root/.profile/daemonrc file shows the correct xen-syms file, so
obviously it is not using that..

 

(I am profiling a HVM domain using passive-domains in the command line
for opcontrol)

 

Thanks

-Padma

[Xen-users] RE: oprofile 0.9.3 xen symbols incorrect

Padma,

I received some reports in the past that Xenoprof was generating incorrect
symbols for HVM guests on Intel processors.
Here is a patch provided by Andrew Gallagher that should fix the problem but I
did not have had a chance to test it yet. It has been sitting on my todo list
for a long time.
Could you please check if this fix the problem and let me know.

Thanks

Renato

[Xen-users] RE: oprofile 0.9.3 xen symbols incorrect

Padma,

You will have to debug this some more and provide more details.
I suggest that you remove the patch and do some more tests on the original
system.
Try generating a more detailed opreport including the EIP values in addition to
the symbols, and then check what symbol the suspicious EIP corresponds to in the
xen image.
Unfortunately I will not have much time to test this myself
Good luck

Renato

[Xen-users] RE: oprofile 0.9.3 xen symbols incorrect

Renato

 

I did what you suggested. Opreport -l showed p2m_change_type () to be
one of hot functions. 

This is an AMD specific function and should not appear when running on
Intel platforms.  

 

So I did a gdb of xen-syms and the EIP for the p2m_change_type function
shows that the actual EIP is iommu_domain_destroy

 

 

p2m_change_type is 0xffff828c801771d0 ==> Iommu_domain_destroy (which
again should NOT be the case)

 

So there is something wrong with the way oprofile is mapping the xen
symbols,

 

The command I use is

Opcontrol  --passive-domains=1 -xen=/boot/xen-sysms
-vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux -event=CPU_CLK_UNHALTED:1000000 -start

 

 

Can you please help in determining why oprofile is getting the symbols
wrong?

Thanks

-Padma
