hi! has anyone ever used some "real" performance monitoring tools (like papiex, perfex, pfmon, etc.) on qemu? i'm running a debian linux and would like to time some applications inside qemu and have tried the perfmon2 kernel-patch (http://perfmon2.sourceforge.net/) for testing.
sadly, it does not work... dmesg tells me that the CPU is not identified correctly ("unsupported family=6"). Now i am not really sure what type of hardware-support the monitor relies on (i think PMU is the correct term, but I'm not sure about that) and what CPUs are supported (dmesg tells me that qemu simulates a Pentium M, but that's probably because I've compiled the kernel on my *real* Pentium M). ... Ok, to cut a long question short: Is there any hardware support im qemu for doing monitoring (that goes deeper than using "time") and has anyone ever tested something that could work? Thanks! Clemens
