Re: [Xen-devel] Xenoprof on Xen-4.1.2
I can use active domains to profile the PVM virtual machines. And I can get some reasonable data. But As soon as I start xenoprof in passive domain mode, the VM can't run workload immediately (The VM doesn't crash. If I ping the VM from other machine, the response time is really high ). I can't input any commands through the console prompt.

Hi:
I want to use xenoprof (patched oprofile-0.9.5) to profile VM (both HVM
and PV) apps and kernel performance based on passive domains. My platform
is as follows:
CPU:Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz
Hypervosir: Xen 4.1.2
Dom0 kernel: linux 2.6.38.2
I am not sure whether xenoprof can work on this platform.

Do you have the patches applied to the kernel to use oprofile?
The Xeon E5620 processor has model number 0x2c (Westmere class), neither the Xen or the latest upstream Linux kernel have oprofile support for this processor.
