Hi there,
I am facing a problem while doing a system-wide callstack analysis using vtune_2015 Update 2 on an ubuntu 14.04 server.
If I start a VM(KVM based) and then do "/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe/bin64/amplxe-cl -collect advanced-hotspots -knob collection-detail=stack-sampling --duration 20 -result-dir ~/intel/amplxe/projects/a/b", on the HOST, the profiling starts. Once the profiling is done amplxe always gets stuck displaying the below message
"amplxe: Executing actions 8 % Loading 'system-wide.perf' file"
Irrespective of the duration, I always get the same 8% progress bar.
Interestingly, everything works fine in the below cases:
i) If I don't have any VMs running on the HOST and I do a call-stack based profiling.
ii)If I have VMs running, and I just do a advanced-hotspots profiling(without the call-stack)
I am interested in profiling the kernel when VMs are running. And I really want the call-stacks as well.
Can someone please shed some light on why I can't get the call-stack profiling when a VM process is running.
Thanks,
