>Hi Renato,
>This patch is to add Xenoprof passive domain support in SMP environment.
>Basically:
>- It allocates per vcpu buffers for passive domain and maps them into primary
>domain's space.
>- When primary domain gets sampled and triggers virq, its kernel module will
>handle passive domain' samples besides its owns. There is potential buffer
>overflow if passive is very busy while primary is idle. The simple workaround
>is to allocate a rather big buffer for passive. For now it works fine. A better
>way is to notify primary when passive buffer exceeds the threshold.
>- When oprofile gets passive domain samples, it splits them in to 3 parts by
>PC ranges pre-definition: xen/kernel/application and maps the first two into
>functions. The oprofile version is a little old, for the patch was made last
>August.
>
>The main usage is to use Xenoprof to profile HVM domain as passive domain, 
>which
>provides enough information for low level performance tuning while no change
>in HVM is needed.
