RE: [Xen-devel] Questions with Xenoprofile

You really do not need to use modules. Actually if you are using  passive domain profiling you will not be able to get module profiles for domU, It would be better to use builtin drivers.

In that case, you can get fuction level profiles with XenoOprofile which can give you enough detail to identify virtual block device costs. You will need to identify which functions in the profile are related to virtual block device, but this should not be hard looking at the virtual block device source code files or symbol table of the associated "*.o" files.

Subject: [Xen-devel] Questions with Xenoprofile

       Nowadays I am troubling with Xenoprofile!I want to use Xenoprofile to get the exact cost of xen block-device backend/frontend driver ,so I can find the bottleneck and  improve on it.But with the manual of xenoprofile, driver is in the layer operating system.If we wanna to test the driver cost, we must  compile the driver in modules but not in the kernel.After I compile the driver in modules, I can't make the domainU started and it said that can't find block device because when domainU is being started, there is no driver to read the block device.

       How can I solve this problem?
