Hello, I have a question about the way Xentrace takes a trace. In previous versions of Xen, I took a trace by setting the size of buffers, activating them and writing the information into a file (optional). setsize 20 tbctl 1 xentrace /tmp/xentrace.dat Now I''m using xen-unstable and I see that setsize is already integrated in xentrace command. My question is: does start/stop buffer is

Hi All, If I turn off irqbalance xen/arch/x86/irq.c, does that actually stop XEN from balancing irqs across different physical cpus, or will that override the setting if there are too many interrupts and one of the cpus is overloaded. Example: i have 4 cpus and i have configured irqbalance= off, so there is no irqbalancing done by xen. Now if i have affintized all my physical interrutps to one

Hi, I have read a mail in the mail list about xentrace and xentrace_format. But I am still puzzled on how to use them. Could somebody give me an example about how to use xentrace and xentrace_format. What I have done is that: 1. Root:/# xentrace /var/perftests/xentrace.log Then I use xentrace_format to get what I want 2. cat /var/perftests/xentrace.log | xentrace_format

Hi, I am using xen-unstable and interested to trace the hypervisor. In previous versions, I was able to trace it by: setsize 20 tbctl 1 xentrace /tmp/xentrace.dat And these functions don''t exist in xen-unstable. xentrace --help shows that in more recent versions the buffers'' size could be determined as a parameter for xentrace. But I can not find any replacement for

Hi, I've made some SAP benchmarks on my Xen system and discovered a huge difference in the performance of a "xened" SAP system compared to a native SAP system. Hence, I tried to figure out what might cause this 'overhead' and run a xentrace (listining to all events). Xentrace produced 24gb data and I converted it to 27gb human-readable data. After I gathered the

Hello, I''ve been trying to get xenmon.py and xentrace to work, but I consistently get the following (on a couple of different machines/kernels): kibab kibab # xentrace /root/xentrace.log ERROR: Failure to get trace buffer pointer from Xen (22 = Invalid argument) Did I miss an option that has to be turned on or something? Is there some other setting that I need so that everything

Since TRC_MEM is defined as 0x000af000 in xen/include/public/trace.h, TRC_MEM = TRC_SCHED | TRC_VMX. I feel strange about this. I do not think scheduling is a part of memory management. Am I right? If not, please tell me the background TRC_MEM is defined as TRC_SCHED | TRC_VMX. If so, please apply this patch. This patch defines TRC_MEM as an independent event mask. In addition, xentrace

I am trying to learn some more about the way windows does TPR writes, and tried xentrace for the first time. I did ''xentrace --time-interval=5 xentrace.out'' to capture some data, and then ran it through ''xentrace_format'' using the supplied example defs file. I can see some PF_XEN entries with virt=0xFFFE0080 (address of TPR), but I want to know the value being

xentrace, setsize and the hypervisor don''t seem to be on the same page. If tracing is not enabled, the hypercall will only allow TBUF_SET_SIZE and TBUF_ENABLE. However, set_size calls TBUF_GET_INFO, and xentrace wants to call TBUF_SET_EVT_MASK and TBUF_SET_CPU_MASK before calling TBUF_ENABLE. I don''t see any reason not to call SET_*_MASK and GET_INFO if tracing is not enabled.

Hi, All This is a patch for xentrace.c. This routine checks the trace buffer is initialized or not. If not, the trace buffer is initialized by using this patch. This is avoiding following message.

Hello, this patch introduces HVM tracing: one tracing class for both, SVM and VMX. It adds several new trace events. So we can differentiate between them in the xentrace formats file and format each event''s data items appropriately. With this patch the xentrace_format output is much more informative. The previous simple tracing in SVM and VMX is completely replaced. Unfortunately I

Hi, xentrace_format cannot use "0x016x" format as we expect. It show only %(N) as "0x016x" format, not as "%(N+1)08x%(N)08x". So I fixed tools/xentrace/formats by using "%(N+1)08x%(N)08x" format.

Hi, I have 3.0.4-1 testing downloaded a week ago. I have enabled VT in the bios and rebuilt xen, but for some reason hvmloader does not get compiled and built. Under xen/tools/firmware I see hvmloader and when I try and do a make it complains of Install dev86 package to build firmware! (http://www.cix.co.uk/~mayday) Why is the hvmloader not built as part of Xen. I am using
