similar to: [PATCH] x86_64 xenoprof makefile

Hi guys, Maybe one of you quickly can tell me if the x86_64 kernel configuration option CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is supposed to work under Xen? I''ve used an ia32 root file system together with CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION inside qemu-system-x86_64 for quite a while now (without xen). It works pretty well. However, when I try this with xen-unstable-9514 all I get is general protection errors...

hvm: clear vmxe if vmxoff The current Xen code keeps X86_CR4_VMXE set even if VMXON has not been executed. The stop_vmx() code assumes that it is possible to call VMXOFF if X86_CR4_VMXE is set which is not always true. Calling VMXOFF without VMXON results in an illegal opcode trap, and to avoid this condition this patch makes sure that X86_CR4_VMXE is only set when VMXON has been called.

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

The problem was because it is missing the "loop" module. the hotplug loads it automatically, while udev does not. The error xenoprof: Initialization failed. Intel processor model 15 for P6 class family is not supported" does not interference the winxp load.. so its ok. Does anyone know how to load osx86? It hangs at "booting from cd-rom". do I need kqemu/qemu xen? I

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

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

HI all : I got the message "Using timer interrupt." when trying the command "opcontrol --list-events". then I found infomation "xenoprof: Initialization failed. Intel processor model 44 for P6 class family is not supported“ after "xm dmesg". the TYPE OF CPUS here is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz. So does it really not support this

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

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

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

Hi, I ran xenoprof with the event mask LLC_MISSES:10000. This should be L2 cache misses on Core2 arch. After the run when I run opreport it displays : Counted *L2_RQSTS* events (number of L2 cache requests) with a unit mask of 0x41 (multiple flags) count 10000 LLC_MISSES:10000 | ..... My questions was whether the message is incorrect or the event mask is not being set correctly by oprofile. My

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
