RE: [Xen-devel] Xenoprof and the hypervisor

["Santos, Jose Renato G" <joserenato.santos@xxxxxx>]

The sample is delivered to the VCPU (and associated domain) that is
currently running on the CPU when the sample is taken,
as computed by the Xen macro "current". That means that samples
taken when a harware interrupt is running are associated
with the VCPU/domain that was interrupted by the HW interrupt.
