Os is the intention to deliberately truncate some 64b quantities to 32b save trace buffer space? Yes. What initiated this discussion was that changing the trace buffers to u64 would double the size of traces. My typical traces are already 1GB+, with longer ones reaching 10G+. Since at this point I'm looking mainly at 32-bit VMX code, it would be nice if I could avoid that. However, as long as the /number/ of 64b quantities was variable, I could make do with either size. -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
