Ubuntu10.04 install Xen4.0.1 to add Xenoprof support

Xenoprof is an interface developed by HP for OProfile tools. It enables OProfile to be applicable to Xen-based virtual environments, so as to monitor kernel, application, and other performance information. It is detailed on the official website http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net.

Xenoprof is an interface developed by HP for OProfile tools. It enables OProfile to be applicable to Xen-based virtual environments, so as to monitor kernel, application, and other performance information. It is detailed on the official website http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net.

The principle of Xenprof is: In the Xen-based virtual environment, Xenoprof can be used to create a profile session, in this session, you can selectively profile multiple virtual machines (including semi-virtualized Linux and fully virtualized Windows or OpenSolaris ), to obtain the performance information of the kernel or application (such as Cache miss, TLB miss, etc ).

 

?The installation process is as follows:

1. Download oprofile-0.9.5.tar.gz from http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/( not the latest Oprofile version 0.9.6, Xen only supports this version );

2. Download oprofile-0.9.5-xen.patchfrom the official Xenoprof website http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net;

3.SetOprofile-0.9.5.tar.gzAndOprofile-0.9.5-xen.patchIn the same directory.

ExtractOprofileAnd patch:

Tar xzvf oprofile-0.9.5.tar.gz

Cd oprofile-0.9.5

Patch-p1 <../oprofile-0.9.5-xen.patch;

4.Run./Configure -- with-kernel-supportCommand for pre-compilation Configuration

During this period, two errors will occur:

Configure: error: popt library not found

Configure: error: liberty library not found

Solution:Sudo apt-get install libpopt-dev Binutils-dev

5.After configuration, run the following command:

Make

Sudo make install

Complete.OProfileInstallation.　　

 

In addition, you need to re-compile the kernel to addOprofile.

 

 

 RecompileXenAnd addOprofileSupported

 

If you have not installedXenWe recommend that you install the two together.Xen-4.0.1See:Http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2011-07/39259.htm
