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.

I initially tried OProfile 0.9.3 with the oprofile-0.9.3-xen-r2.patch but when I tried running "opcontrol --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?
Did you apply the Xen patch available in http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net ?

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.

Dante
