Due to this, Iam not able to use the hardware performance counters in my Xeon 5530 processor as hardware events(cache-misses etc) are being disabled.Is there any reason for this ? The PMU hardware features are not virtualized, and are not available to guest domains. I don't think Xen has much of a useful API to expose these features, though oprofile was working at one point. I agree it would be very useful to work out how to get good "perf" support in a Xen domain. (Stephen: It might be an interesting SoC project.)
