Yes I think this is something I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if I can use your Cap-Eye kernel image because my code changes are in kernel modules such as ip, sockfs and genunix. Nevertheless, I'll be happy to try it. Unfortunately I touch a few areas in genunix so I don't think you're goi

Eric, If you are interested in tying DTLB misses to specific regions of user source code, please consider using 'collect' and 'analyzer'. The latest builds of these tools for Opteron can be found here: /set/mars/dist/intel-S2/bin An example of using collect: collect -p on -h dtlbm,hi a.out

While investigating a performance problem in my prototype workspace, I found that the dtlb-miss rate is about 16% higher than that of the baseline, so I suspect that the high tlb miss could be the issue. So, how can I get the statistics on the PC addresses when the tlb miss happens? Can DTrace
