similar to: xenoprof bug ?

my system configuration xen 3.4.2, oprofile 0.9.5( xenoprof patched ), dom0( jeremy''s pvops kernel 2.6.31.6 - patched dullor''s xenoprof patch ), domU( vanilla kernel 2.6.32 with paravirt enabled ), distribution( ubuntu 9.10 ) In passive mode, xenoprof seems to work well, opreport showed good information. but, in active mode, it seems not to be done correctly. my command is

Is it possible to monitor Core Events and Uncore Events simultaneously? Currently, it is not working now in my machine. When I type the command line like this, opcontrol --start-daemon --event=LLC_MISSES:6000::0:1 --event=LLC_REFS:6000::0:1 \ --event=MEM_UNCORE_RETIRED:6000:0x10:0:1 --event=MEM_UNCORE_RETIRED:6000:0x20:0:1 \ --xen=/boot/xen-syms-4.0.1-rc3 --no-vmlinux

Hello everyone, I''m trying to run Xenoprof (Oprofile 0.9.4) in Gentoo Linux 2.6.21-xen (64 bit) on an AMD 64 system and am facing the following two issues: 1. Xenoprof complains about a write error, but starts and runs anyway. dom0 # opcontrol --start-daemon --active-domains=0 --event=CPU_CLK_UNHALTED:75000::1:1 --vmlinux=/usr/src/linux-2.6.21-xen-dom0/vmlinux

Dear experts, to monitor performance of applications on our private clouds I decided to use Xenoprof. For that, I installed patched OProfile 0.9.5 on Dom0 and DomU. Then, I started the daemon on Dom0 opcontrol --start-daemon --active-domains=1 --separate=library --event=LLC_MISSES:90000 and received the following error: /usr/local/bin/opcontrol: line 1171: echo write error: invalid

xenoprof: flush remaining smples when sampling is stopped. Xenoprof notifies guest kernel via VIRQ_XENOPROF when sampled. But it does coarsly based on heuristic so that sometimes VIRQ_XENOPROF isn''t delivered resulting in that oprofile daemon collects no sample. To avoid that situation, always send VIRQ_XENOPROF when sampling is stopped. -- yamahata

Hi, I want to use xenoprof to profile the overhead of the hypervisor. I patched the oprofile-0.9.5 using the patch from xenoprof.sourceforge.net Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny) Xen-4.0.1 + 2.6.32.27 (linux-2.6-pvops.git) Dom0 My platform is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz My problems are: In Dom0, But hardware performance counters don''t be mounted after initialization

Renato, If one creates an HVM domain (say domain 1) and then does echo 1 > /dev/oprofile/passive_domains one then gets the following on the Xen serial console: (XEN) xenoprof.c:143:d0 xenoprof/x86 with autotranslated mode enabledisn''t supported yet (XEN) xenoprof.c:143:d0 xenoprof/x86 with autotranslated mode enabledisn''t supported yet (XEN) xenoprof.c:143:d0

I''m looking into getting Xenoprof to tun in an HVM domain, since we will eventually need a profiler for HVM domains to track down areas of poor performance. (HVMs have poor performance? :) ) Being relatively new to OProfile, Xenoprof, and Xen internals, I would appreciate any pointers, tips, and comments on how to work the implementation. I see three basic areas of work. 1. Implement

Hi All. I''m trying to use xenoprof in my Xeon machine with PVOPS (3.1.0 kernel) & xen 4.1.1. In the past, I had failed to use the xenoprof in this environment. (1 year ago) While baremetal booting shows the counter object in /dev/oprofile/0 (or 1,2,3) , booting with xen fails to create those objects. Of course, opcontrol command doesn''t work. It only prints

I''m trying to use xenoprof in my machine (xeon x5650, westmere). While oprof works for this machine correctly, xenoprof doesn''t work properly. I want to use xenoprof in NMI mode (which is the opposite side of timer mode, right?) However, kernel message always shows that xenoprof works in the timer mode only. Is there any restriction or specs which is not

Hello Xen Users, I am trying to Patch the linux-2.6-sparse source tree to get it working with Xenoprof. I have obtained the patch from the Xenoprof source forge website maintained by HP. http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net/ However, I am unable to apply the patch as the source-tree structure expected by the patch is different from the one in 3.0.2 distribution. Has anyone encountered this

Hi Renato, This patch is to add Xenoprof passive domain support in SMP environment. Basically: - It allocates per vcpu buffers for passive domain and maps them into primary domain''s space. - When primary domain gets sampled and triggers virq, its kernel module will handle passive domain'' samples besides its owns. There is potential buffer overflow if passive is very busy while
