RE: [Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH] add long interrupt measurement capability



Perhaps.  However measuring cycles is important and, more
specifically, measuring MAX cycles spent across a set of
interrupts.  As a result, I suspect any code that measures
this (regardless of whether the result is reported by
xentrace or debug-key) would likely encounter the
same objection from Keir.

Dan, Couldn't you add this to xentrace ?

I don't think it has sufficient general utility to be applied. Anyone who
would actually have the want and wit to run this option can apply the patch
themselves.
