OProfile => XenGatherer

I extended the XenGatherer prototype such that when it is started opcontrol starts gathering information about cache misses (event LLC_MISSES):
  • opcontrol --reset
  • opcontrol --start-daemon --event=LLC_MISSES:10000 --xen=... --vmlinux=...
  • opcontrol --start
When the XenGatherer tool is stopped, opcontrol is stopped as well:
  • opcontrol --stop
  • opcontrol --shutdown
And when you choose to make a report (throught the XenGatherer CLI) the retrieved information is written to file. The information gathered by OProfile is requested by the following command:
  • opreport event:LLC_MISSES
An updated version of the Python source files can be found here.
