Re: [Xen-devel] Modifying xentop

[Atsushi SAKAI <sakaia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Carlo

  If you skip the code tracking,
it is better to see arch_do_sysctl@xen/arch/x86/sysctl.c
(XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo).

P.S.
If you keep digging the code in your way,
you need to track the hypercall code (which includes assembler).

Thanks
