CodeXL User GuideCPU Profiler supports TBP and EBP on Guest OS running on VMware Workstation 11.0 or later. It is always recommended to use latest version of VMware Workstation. Recent AMD Carrizo processor is not yet supported by VMware Workstation 11.1.x.
To run TBP within guest OS, no additional configuration needed in host OS or guest OS.
To run EBP within guest OS, please ensure the following settings are done:
‒ Enable Virtualization or SVM (AMD-V) in BIOS settings before booting the host OS.
‒ Enable AMD-V in guest OS VM settings. Edit virtual machine settings > Hardware > Processors> Virtualization engine > Enable “Virtualize AMD-V/RVI”
‒ Enable vPMC in guest OS VM settings. Edit virtual machine settings > Hardware > Processors> Virtualization engine > Enable “Virtualize CPU performance counters”
Known Issues on Windows 7 Host OS:
‒ When CPU Profiler EBP is running on Windows 7 host OS and a Linux guest OS is launched, crash is observed on Windows 7 due to VMware driver.
‒ If EBP is performed on Windows 7 host OS and EBP is performed on Linux guest OS simultaneously, then crash is observed on Windows 7 due to VMware driver.
These scenarios work fine when host OS is Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
