Bug 212366

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #211197 +++

Description of problem:
THe mode and eip/rip are not properly updated for HVM guests for AMD-V.  The 
attached patches modify AMD-V specific code, and add a generic xenoprofile 
function for HVM.  These patches have not been pushed up to xen-unstable.hg, 
but will be when the tree reopens after 3.0.3 is released.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All xen versions have this bug.

How reproducible:
run xenoprofile 0.9.2 with additional patch from HP (Renato Santos) to enable 
passive profiling.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start up hvm guest on AMD-V machine
2. run xenoprofile 0.9.2 w/ passive patch
3. the profiling records will be incorrect (wrong symbol matches)
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

the xenoprofile HVM support is now in the xen-unstable tree.

patches.

Does this patch require the HP xenoprofile patch to be relevant?

-- Additional comment from thomas.woller on 2006-10-25 13:15 EST --
just to be clear, the HP patch is only used for the application oprofile, but 
the answer is yes.  basically, to perform passive profiling for HVM guests 
properly you need to have the AMD-V patches from xen-unstable incorporated 
into your hypervisor, and also the oprofile-0.9.2+HP patch for the Dom0 
application level opreport/opcontrol apps.  0.9.3 should be out soon with this 
patch integrated.
