I have ported Anil''s passive profile-capable OProfile patch to Linux 3.0. Please see: http://www.flyn.org/patches/linux-xen-passive-oprofile/linux-3.0-xen-passive-oprofile.patch.gz With this patch applied to Linux 3.0, I can perform passive profiling of an unprivileged Xen domain. -- Mike :wq _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I don''t suppose you have any inclination to actually pick it apart and turn it into a useful series of functionally distinct patches so we can consider upstreaming it? (I guess you could consider that to be dynamiting the whale, but at that point the analogy completely comes apart in gory chunks.)

Any chance you would have this patchset in a git tree that I could pull! Thanks for doing this. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
