[Xen-devel] Sending messages from Xen to a domain with VIRQ_DEBUG

[Rami Rosen <rosenrami@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

    Is there a way to send messages (for debugging purposes) from Xen to a domain with some text?

    I want to add "printk" messages in certain points in Xen for tracing
    and debugging purposes.

    As I understand, when I add printk messages to Xen they will appear only in
    boot time on the terminal. After domain 0 is created and up, printk() messages
    in Xen will not appear in /var/log/messages or on terminal.

    I had tried to add in some point in Xen:

     .........
     for_each_vcpu(d,v)
            send_guest_virq(v,VIRQ_DEBUG);
      .....
When I reach this point in Xen , it generates the following:
in the syslog (of domain0)
...
netif_schedule_list:
 kernel:  ** End of netif_schedule_list **
...

(I assume that this is somehow connected to the call: request_irq(bind_virq_to_irq(VIRQ_DEBUG),...

in netback.c but I don't know the exact origin of this message)


Is there a way to send a message from Xen to a domain with some chosen text ? 

Regards,
Rami Rosen
