Hello George,I am trying to get linux "perf" tool work with Xen(Virtualize PMU to measure hardware events from inside guests). I have the following options : 1. allowing the guest kernel to see the PMU hardware features via cpuid, and then doing whatever is necessary to make them work as expected (by instruction emulation, etc), or 2. keeping them hidden, but adding a new Xen interface and the appropriate Linux-side code to detect that interface and use itDoes Xenalyze have any code relevant to this ? Can you think of any directions in this regard ? Thanks, Naresh Rapolu. George Dunlap wrote: I have not measured cache / TLB misses with this workload yet. In the past I've instrumented the scheduler trace records in Xen to include performance counters such as instructions executed and cache / tlb misses, and then used xenalyze (http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xenalyze.hg) to analyze them. But the functionality for both capture and analysis was never standardized or added to mainline.I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction if you're interested in investing in that approach. :-)-George Naresh Rapolu wrote:Hello George,How did you measure Cache/ TLB misses etc while using/profiling this new scheduler ?

The first two patches introduce changes necessary to allow the credit2 shared runqueue functionalityto work properly; the last two implement the functionality itself.The scheduler is still in the experimental phase.
