[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 0/9] Rework gcov support in Xen

2016-10-10 Thread Wei Liu
The original implementation of gcov support in Xen has several limitations: 1. The internal data structures are tied to gcc 3.4 format. 2. The sysctl interface is tied to gcc 3.4 format. 3. The gcov type definition is wrong, doesn't work with 32 bit hypervisor, which means arm32 wouldn't work.
