Hardware performance monitoring facilities such as counters can provide invaluable information about system behavior. In recent years, Linux _perf_ has become the standard tool for managing these facilities and interpreting data that they generate. In this talk we will discuss changes to Xen and Linux that will allow PV guests (including dom0) use perf for profiling themselves and, in the case of dom0, the hypervisor. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/xen-project-developer-summit/program/schedule
