Xen devel - Feb 2009 - xenoprof missing xen symbols on x86_64 dom0

Hello,

I followed the online guide to get xenoprof up and running
(http://www.xen.org/files/summit_3/xenoprof_tutorial.pdf). I compiled
the kernel with debugging symbols and patched up the user tools.

The problem I''m facing now is that "opreport -l"
doesn''t pick up
symbols from the xen-syms file specified while starting profiling. I
get a whole lot of "xen-unknown" symbols. This issue seems to be a
affecting only reports from dom0; strangely enough, I am able to get
symbols from xen on the domU report though. I''m running on an Intel
Xeon E5320 with Xen 3.3.2 pre-release (compiled from source). The
version of oprofile used is oprofile-0.9.3 and the xen patch applied
is  oprofile-0.9.3-xen-r2.patch.

I know that this question has been asked recently by someone else
working with xen3.3 but there was no response to it. So, reposting
another one here. Please do respond.

Thanks,
Mukil

This problem usually happens when oprofile is using a kernel image that does not
correspond to the running kernel.
  Make sure you are specifying the right kernel image on the opcontrol command.
  Oprofile keeps previously used kernel images under the directory
/root/.oprofile (assuming your are logged in as root).
  Sometimes this may have an old kernel which may not correspond to the current
kernel and may be mistakenly used by oprofile.
  Try removing this directory and then run oprofile specifying the right kernel
image using option --vmlinux (use the non compressed version of the kernel
image).
  That is all I can think of. I hopee this helps
