How do we probe the Xen hypervisor, while running as the dom0 (which
is the GUI frontend for us, and running as guest)? Since the entry
to hypervisor is controlled, I supposed it will need a patch before
systemtap can be used to probe the Xen hypervisor, right? Or is it
not a logical thing to do?
My target of interest will be to trace/analyze the behavior of the
Xen hypervisor, and the domX guest as well.
Thank you for your answer.
