George, Thank you for all the information. I'll take a dive in and see what I can see. I'd at least like to get the CPU core frequency detection in as that will make things a lot easier for us as we port to multiple platforms with different cores. Then we don't have to keep looking up core speeds.

Hi Ben, looks like you've done everything I did. I'm far from my working laptop today, so I can post my work on this issue only tomorrow so you can look through the code, compare and estimate solutions. Regarding ARM build, I'm using xenalyze as both host tool (x86 build, e.g. for gnuplot scatter

All, To update to the current situation. I have been able to get xentrace() and xenalyze working completely (at least as far as I can tell) on ARM. For xentrace there were changes to the memory allocation routines to allow mapping of the Xen Heap by dom0, correcting the MFN->PFN translations, add

Paul, Thank you very much for the reply. I’ll check out the fork for xenalyze. I believe I have xentrace working now, mostly, but if possible I’d like to see what you did on your build to get it working to compare. I would like to push a patch into the mainline that agrees with both of our effor

Dario, I gleamed enough information from Paul's posts that I now have xentrace outputting data (I don't know if it's correct data or gibberish yet though). To discover this I tried to find the xenalyze tool but have not been able to figure out how to get it built. According to the old documentatio

Hi Ben, sorry for the delayed answer. There is xenalyze fork repo made by RT-Xen author, Meng Xu: https://github.com/PennPanda/xen-analyze apart from some comments and logs it's quite the same tool as it was of Xen 4.5, you can use it while you have troubles with the code in the Xen repo. Do you
