[Xen-devel] xenoprof: operation 9 failed for dom0 (status: -1)

[Dante Cinco <dantecinco@xxxxxxxxx>]

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
