RE: [Xen-devel] Xenoprof: getting Oprofile out of timer mode?

["Santos, Jose Renato G" <joserenato.santos@xxxxxx>]

Xenoprof initialization is failing with -ENODEV status (-19).
There are two conditions that would cause this:
1) The local APIC is not available (cpu_has_apic is false)
2) OR the cpu (family/model) is not one of the known CPU models
   in xenoprof

Have you tried running Oprofile in vanila linux?
Does OProfile recognize the CPU model and the APIC in Linux?
