Thanks for the suggestion.  It appears to me that the xentrace only implements one-way communication between the kernel and user space, but I need 2 way communication. 

I know it is not the "right" way to do it, but is there a way to read/write a file within the scheduler?  I am working on a 1-off implementation for a specialized project that will never make it into the main kernel. 

Thanks

You can look at the way trace-bufs are implemented in xentrace. You will find xentrace in xen/tools.

Thanks for your reply.  I am familiar with the files you listed, but they do not do what I need, nor do I see how they could be modified to do what I want (although I may be missing something). 

I am trying to pass simple information in and out of the scheduler while it is running to a user process for monitoring and control.  I just need an IPC method that is fast so it won't bog down the scheduler or the user space process.  Any thoughts?  Thanks

I'm not experienced but I think you could have a look at:

xen/include/public/domctl.h
xen/include/public/sched.h
xen/include/public/sched-if.h
xen/common/sched_credit.c
tools/libxc/xc_csched.c
