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

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

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

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

Renato, When I tried running "opcontrol --start" (after previously running "opcontrol --start-daemon") in dom0, I get this error message: /usr/local/bin/opcontrol: line 1639: echo: write error: Operation not permitted and this message in the Xen console: (XEN) xenoprof: operation 9 failed for dom 0 (status : -1) It looks like opcontrol is trying to do this: echo 1 >

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

Keir, The following 3 patches allow HVM (SVM and VT) guests to be passively profiled using the very latest patches from Renato. These patches apply to 11470. Renato''s patches: http://xenoprof/sourceforge.net oprofile-0.9.1-xen-r2.patch And also a patch not posted FAIK (oprofile-0.9.1-fix-hvm-addr-overlap.patch) which is in the attached tar.bz2 file. hvm_xenoprofile_1.patch - The first

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

Hello Xenoprof Users, Can someone please verify the steps to get a oprofile session profile multiple sessions? I am using a file VBD for spawning two guest OS domains on the host. I am doing the following: 1.) On dom0 Opcontrol --xen=/boot/xen-syms-blah 2.) On domU domID: 41 Opcontrol --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux-2..blah 3.) On domU domID: 42 Opcontrol

Hi all, I am trying to do Xen / Kernel profiling. So I tried passive domain profile with oprofile tool in Dom0 as below. * Environment 1 + i7-2600 CPU + XCP 1.6 Base ISO + CentOS 6.3 Guest (HVM,PV) * Environment 2 + i7-2600 CPU + Xen hypervisor 4.2.1 + Konrad''s passive domain profiling patch applied Dom0 Kernel ( 2.6.32 jeremy branch & 3.2.44 mainline kernel) + CentOS 6.3

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

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

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

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

I am rebasing Fedora rawhide oprofile package to oprofile-0.9.7. The xenoprof patches on http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net/#download look a bit dated. The newest version is for oprofile-0.9.5. I massaged the patch oprofile-0.9.5-xen.patch to apply to oprofile-.0.9.7. Attached is that updated patch. Does this look reasonable? Is there a desire to get this into upstream oprofile? Or should the

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
