Do you mean system calls (guest process calls into guest kernels), or hypercalls (guest kernel calls into the hypervisor)? If you mean system calls, Xen is not involved; you need to take that up with your guest OSes. :-) If you mean hypercalls, and you want to know the number and timing of them, you can use xentrace, or possibly xenmon. Not much information is gathered about hypercalls at this point beyond the timing and hypercall number. (I'm sure patches to address this would be considered.) Another avenue to look at is the Xen performance counters. There is a performance counter per hypercall; as I understand it, this would give you total hypercalls over the system, not on a per-VM basis. Hopefully that will give you enough to get started! -George On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 4:38 PM, Frederic Beck <frederic.beck@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello > > I'm looking to get access to information about the system calls in my > VMs. Looking through the documentation, i undestood that it was only > giving access to generic data about the VM (CPU and memory usage..). > > I guess i'll have to look further in the code, or go through xend ? > > Can you give me some hints and direction for that ? > > Thanks > Fred > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel > _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
