Hi, list:
I am trying to do some profile work on Xen 4.0 with pvops kernel on an AMD
machine (equipped with *AMD* ''*Istanbul*'' Family 10h
processors). I have
found the dulloor''s xenoprof patch for pvops kernel. But it does not
contain
supports for IBS. The only IBS support for xenoprofile posted by Wei Wang
seems to be for 2.6.18-dom0 kernel. So is there any support for pvops kernel
to use IBS on AMD?
Another question is when i am using normal profiling event (such as L2_MISS)
on my AMD machine, it seems that it does not generate interrupt when the
performance counter overflows. Is there any problem with AMD processor or
the xenoprofile patch?
Thanks,
Best regards
