Re: [Xen-devel] Re: xenoprof: operation 9 failed for dom0 (status: -1)
 
I too am experiencing this problem. My setup is much less
bleeding-edge, however: 
 
RHEL 5.3 dom0 (2.6.18-128.el5xen kernel) 
xen-3.3.1 from gitco 
oprofile-0.9.3-18.el5 
 
Same error message in Xen dmesg ring buffer.

--status" in dom0, I got an error message about cpu_set or cpu_type and
prompted to use a newer version of OProfile (I think OProfile 0.9.3
doesn't recognized the Core i7 CPU I'm using). So I downloaded OProfile
0.9.5 and manually applied the same patch and it seems to work except
for the problems I described in my previous email. I'm also using
Jeremy's latest pvops 2.6.31.5 with Dulloor's xenoprof.patch. I'm also
using the patched OProfile 0.9.5 in domU (Linux 2.6.30.1). 
   
I realize I'm using a lot of new stuff like pvops 2.6.31.5 (with Xen
3.5-unstable changeset 20330) and OProfile 0.9.5 but I thought I'd
check with you to see if the problems I'm having sound familiar. 
   
Thanks.

    What version of OProfile are you using?

       Renato, 
       
When I tried running "opcontrol --start" (after previously running
"opcontrol --start-daemon") in dom0, I get this error message: 
       
/usr/local/bin/opcontrol: line 1639: echo: write error: Operation not
permitted 
       
and this message in the Xen console: 
       
(XEN) xenoprof: operation 9 failed for dom 0 (status : -1) 
       
It looks like opcontrol is trying to do this: echo 1 >
/dev/oprofile/enable 
       
and it is failing. "operation 9" maps to XENOPROF_start which is
consistent with running "opcontrol --start." At first, I ignored the
error because it gave the indication "Profiler running" but after I ran
"opcontrol --shutdown" followed by "opreport" in dom0, I got this error
message: 
       
error: no sample files found: profile specification too strict ? 
       
Do you know why the write error is occurring? I followed the steps in
xenoprof_tutorial.ppt.
