Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.31.1
|
|
||||||
=====================================
|
=====================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Remove app-menu in favor of window-menu, following GNOME design
|
This release of Sysprof contains the largest amount of work since we revived
|
||||||
guidelines for 3.32.
|
the project a few years ago. We have revamped and minimized the ABI of
|
||||||
* Fixes for i18n/l10n.
|
libsysprof-ui considerably. As port of the ABI update, symbols have been
|
||||||
* Build fixes to avoid use of non-portable __WORDSIZE.
|
changed from Sp to Sysprof to reduce chances of collisions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Translations:
|
With these changes comes a soname bump and upgrade of the D-Bus API provided
|
||||||
|
by the package. Some work has been taken to implement older versions of the
|
||||||
* Swedish, Indonesian, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese
|
sysprofd API so that older clients may continue to work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.30.1
|
• Various build system improvements
|
||||||
=====================================
|
• A new libsysprof-capture-3.a capture library has been provided to allow
|
||||||
|
application developers to capture data and merge into the profiler stream.
|
||||||
* Various compilation fixes for alternative platforms, compilers, and toolchains.
|
• The recording and viewing API has been redesigned and improved.
|
||||||
* Backport model filter fixes from libdazzle.
|
• Sysprof has been backported to support GTK 3.22 and GLib 2.50.
|
||||||
|
• Support for passing file-descriptors has been added to allow profiling
|
||||||
Translations:
|
integration with GNOME Shell, GJS, and GTK profilers.
|
||||||
|
• New API to allow integration with external tooling that spawns applications
|
||||||
* Swedish, Hungarian, Brazilian Portuguese
|
is provided so that environment and arguments may be modified.
|
||||||
|
• A new re-record feature has been added.
|
||||||
Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.30.0
|
• The capture format can now store log messages, metadata, and file content.
|
||||||
=====================================
|
• A new org.gnome.Sysprof3 daemon has been added, which is written using
|
||||||
|
GDBus instead of libsystemd. This may improve portability to some
|
||||||
* Fix incorrect free func for GPtrArray
|
distributions.
|
||||||
* Various build system improvements
|
• The portability of Sysprof to non-Linux systems has been improved, however
|
||||||
* ENABLE_POLKIT is now repsected in the kallsyms support
|
many recording features are still not available on non-Linux platforms.
|
||||||
* suggested-action fixes for CSS
|
• A new org.gnome.Sysprof3.Profiler XML D-Bus interface is provided for
|
||||||
|
tooling that wants to export Sysprof content via D-Bus.

=====================================
|
Happy Profiling,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Experimental tracking of various drm events (vblank and CRTC/MSC)
|
-- Christian
|
||||||
* Drawing code now uses double instead of float for additional precision
|
|
||||||
* CLOCK_MONOTONIC is now the preferred clock
|
|
||||||
* A new capture type of "mark" has been added to the capture format. It
|
|
||||||
supports an event name with a duration >= 0. We expect to integrate this
|
|
||||||
with a timechart in a future release.
|
|
||||||
* Various counters are automatically detected and displayed when opening a
|
|
||||||
capture file.
|
|
||||||
* Various cleanups to libsysprof-capture-2.a for re-usability
|
|
||||||
* A new in-tree tool "sysprof-cat" which can join multiple capture files
|
|
||||||
together gracefully.
|
|
||||||
* Fix a number of situations where cpu/pid were crossed.

Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.28.0
|
|
||||||
=====================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* SpCaptureWriter now pre-initializes the scratch buffer to zero
|
|
||||||
to pacify valgrind.

Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.27.91
|
|
||||||
======================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sysprof now exclusively uses the meson build system.
|
|
||||||
* Improvements to the process filtering model used in the profiler popover.
|
|
||||||
* More tests for utility helpers.
|
|
||||||
* Some code was relicensed to LGPLv2.1+ to extend it's reusability.
|
|
||||||
* A new libsysprof-capture-2.a static library is installed to allow external
|
|
||||||
tooling to read and write the capture format. We expect tooling such as
|
|
||||||
GJS to use this in the future.
|
|
||||||
* A new kallsyms tokenizer was added.
|
|
||||||
* If we fail to parse kallsyms as the effective user, we now query the
|
|
||||||
sysprofd daemon to access and parse those symbols for us as root. This
|
|
||||||
requires polkit authorization on the DBus connection just like our
|
|
||||||
elevated perf_event_open() helper.
|
|
||||||
* Now that we have to deal with overlapping kernel and user-space memory,
|
|
||||||
Sysprof tries harder to check the current perf context. New API was
|
|
||||||
added to symbol resolvers to facilitate this.

||||||
Changes since 3.22.1
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* ftruncate() when creating a capture in case we overwrite a previous
|
|
||||||
capture file. This ensures we don't leave junk at the end of the
|
|
||||||
capture.
|
|
||||||
* Handle EAGAIN when writin the opportunistic end-time header.
|
|

Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.22.1
|
|
||||||
=====================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Changes since 3.22.0
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A new data source called "hostinfo" has been added. It records various
|
|
||||||
CPU datapoints as "counters" in the sysprof capture.
|
|
||||||
* A new visualizers abstraction has been added so that we can start
|
|
||||||
providing new ways to look at profiler data.
|
|
||||||
* A CPU visualizer has been added which renders datapoints recorded
|
|
||||||
from the hostinfo data source.
|
|
||||||
* Selecting ranges of the visualizer will update the callgraph limiting
|
|
||||||
stacktrace samples, to the given time range.
|
|
||||||
* Missing headers are now installed which may be needed by applications
|
|
||||||
using libsysprof-ui.
|
|
||||||
* A keyboard shortcuts dialog has been added.
|
|
||||||
* A theme manager has been added to allow us to provide custom CSS for
|
|
||||||
various themes. Currently, we have additional styling added for
|
|
||||||
Adwaita and Adwaita-dark.

Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.20.0
|
|
||||||
=====================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sysprof 3.20.0 is a major rewrite of the sysprof internals.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The GTK+ user interface has been ported to GTK+ 3, and includes
|
|
||||||
the use of modern GTK+ patterns, including GtkHeaderBar.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A new library, libsysprof-2 has been created, which contains the
|
|
||||||
internals for implementing a Linux perf-based profiler.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A new library, libsysprof-ui-2 has been created, which can be used by
|
|
||||||
IDEs to provide profiling capabilities. GNOME Builder is expected to
|
|
||||||
take advantage of this.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sysprof uses a new binary capture format, to allow for collecting
|
|
||||||
more types of data than simply Perf callchain information.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Data collection sources have been abstracted, allowing for new types
|
|
||||||
of data collection to occur. Additionally, it is now possible to port
|
|
||||||
Sysprof to other operating systems if contributors are found to
|
|
||||||
implement those features. As before, Sysprof is currently supported
|
|
||||||
on Linux, where the perf_event_open syscall is available.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The sysprof capture format supports information from JITd languages.
|
|
||||||
Patches to Gjs (GNOME's wrapper around mozjs24) exist that can export
|
|
||||||
JIT information from the JavaScript engine.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sysprof now supports launching an application as part of the
|
|
||||||
profiling process.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sysprof can attach to one-or-more existing processes to collect
|
|
||||||
profiling information. This still uses the Linux perf infrastructure,
|
|
||||||
which means sampling is still performed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The user interface provides a stopwatch for the amount of time that
|
|
||||||
has elapsed since recording started. If you find that the sysprof UI
|
|
||||||
shows up in your capture, we suggest using sysprof-cli to collect
|
|
||||||
samples.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The Sysprof UI provides tags next to common GNOME libraries used in
|
|
||||||
the GNOME stack to allow users to quickly identify libraries that
|
|
||||||
may not have fully-qualified symbol names.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The binutils based demanger has been removed in favor of
|
|
||||||
abi::__cxx_demangle() function. This fixes modern C++ demangling
|
|
||||||
and vastly simplifies the Sysprof codebase. However, it does require
|
|
||||||
a C++ compiler and linker to build Sysprof. Applications using
|
|
||||||
libsysprof-2 and libsysprof-ui-2 do not require a C++ compiler.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sysprof now provides a D-Bus service, sysprofd, which can perform
|
|
||||||
elevated perf_event_open syscalls on behalf of the user interface
|
|
||||||
after appropriate authorization. Polkit is used to perform the
|
|
||||||
authorization. This service requires sd-bus from systemd 222 and
|
|
||||||
newer. If you choose not to use this service, or do not have
|
|
||||||
systemd on your system, you will have to perform system-wide
|
|
||||||
captures as root, either via the UI, or via sysprof-cli.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* sysprof-cli now supports executing a command with the -c option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A new mimetype for *.syscap is installed to allow opening capture
|
|
||||||
files from Nautilus or other file-managers.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The sysprof artwork has been updated.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sysprof can now be translated using GNOME's i18n and l10n
|
|
||||||
infrastructure.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sysprof now comes with a modest help manual which can be viewed with
|
|
||||||
the Yelp documentation browser.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* New code in sysprof has been licensed under the GPLv3 or newer.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is worth noting that Sysprof is still a sampling based profiler.
|
|
||||||
However, it should now be possible to extend sysprof to support tracing
|
|
||||||
via callgrind. If you are interested in helping on this effort, please
|
|
||||||
let us know and we can help you get started.
