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

[Dulloor <dulloor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a xentrace patch.

- Should irq_desc_measure_t move to some .h file ?
- I have defined the new trace event in general class. Is it fine ?

- I have defined tsc_in as volatile to avoid initializing it in the main code path.

thanks

Yes, xentrace records would be okay. It's adding another debug key and
printing to Xen console for this purpose which I do not think is worthwhile.
