First, what is the status of Xenoprof? The latest patch is against 0.9.5,

There is a crufty pv_ops patch that I forward ported to 2.6.32 in this tree:

https://github.com/avsm/linux-2.6.32-xen-oprofile

It's not suitable for upstreaming, but passive profiling of domains works fine for me using this kernel.  Ian Pratt suggested dropping active profiling in order to simplify the patch: does anyone actually use active profiling?

Jeremy also pointed out the new perf framework in Linux to me at the hackathon, but I haven't had a chance to look at how it works:
