[Xen-users] xenoprof problems in 2.6.31.13 pv_ops (xen4.0)

[Mingfan Lu <mingfan.lu@xxxxxxxxx>]

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

Xen-4.0.0 + 2.6.31.13 (pv_ops Jeremy's branch) Dom0 + 2.6.31.13 (DOMU)

My platform is NHM-EP (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5570  @ 2.93GHz)

My problems are:

• In DOM0, I can get event list using opcontrol -l, while, after initialization (opcontrol --init),  When I start daemon this in DOM0, I got the following error messages :

opcontrol --start-daemon --event=CPU_CLK_UNHALTED:1000000 --xen=/boot/xen-syms-4.0.0 --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.31.13 --passive-domains=1 --passive-images=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.31.13-xenu

 /usr/local/bin/opcontrol: line 1399: /dev/oprofile/passive_domains: Permission denied [Comments: I can't create a file in /dev/oprofile/passive_domains manually]

 Error: counter 0 not available nmi_watchdog using this resource ? Try: [Comments: there is not /dev/oprofile/0 in /dev/oprofile]

opcontrol --deinit

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog  [Comments: I do it using this instructions, but it does not work; and I find that the /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_whatchdog is 0 already]

• In DOMU, opcontrol -l , it returens:
  using timer interrupt 

My questions are:

    1. Could xenoprof works in PV mode or is there any patches to enable it

    2. Why my domu could not report the correct event list.
