Sysprof is a sampling profiler that uses a kernel module, sysprof-module.ko,
|

to generate stacktraces which are then interpreted by the userspace
|

program "sysprof".
|
||||
Sysprof is a sampling profiler that uses a kernel module to generate

stacktraces which are then interpreted by the userspace program
|
||||
"sysprof".
|
||||
|
||||
See http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/ for more information
|
||||
See the Sysprof homepage:
|
||||
|
||||
- You need gtk+ 2.6.0 or better.
|
||||
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/
|
||||
|
||||
- You need at least Linux 2.6.11
|
||||
for more information
|
||||
|
||||
- The module must be compiled with the same compiler that compiled the
|
||||
kernel it is going to be used with. For most systems that is just
|
||||
the system compiler, but if you have upgraded your kernel it is
|
||||
possible the one was compiled with a different compiler.
|
||||
Please mail bug reports to
|
||||
|
||||
In that case, "insmod sysprof-module.ko" will produce this
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Also information about whether it works or doesn't work on your distribution
|
||||
would be appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
- A Linux kernel version 2.6.11 or newer is required.
|
||||
Unlike Sysprof 0.9, version 0.91 should work fine on SMP systems.
|
||||
|
||||
- GTK+ 2.6.0 or newer is required
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling:
|
||||
|
||||
- Sysprof must be compiled with the same compiler that compiled the
|
||||
kernel it is going to be used with. Usually this is just the the
|
||||
system compiler, but if you have upgraded your kernel it is
|
||||
possible that the new kernel was compiled with a different compiler
|
||||
|
||||
In that case, "modprobe sysprof-module" will produce this
|
||||
error message:
|
||||
|
||||
insmod: error inserting './sysprof-module.o': -1 Invalid module format
|
||||

Debugging symbols
|
||||
|
||||
- The programs you want to profile should have debugging symbols, or
|
||||
you won't get much usable information. On a Fedora Core system,
|
||||
installing the relevant -debuginfo packages should do the trick.
|
||||
installing the relevant -debuginfo package should be sufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
- To get usable data on the X server:
|
||||
|
||||
- X server.
|
||||
|
||||
The X server as shipped by most distributions uses its own home-rolled
|
||||
module loading system and Sysprof has no way to deal with that, so if you
|
||||
run sysprof with your normal X serverr you won't get any information about
|
||||
how time is spent inside the X server.
|
||||
|
||||
To fix this you have to compile your own X server:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) Compile the X server to use ".so" modules:
|
||||
|
||||
- Uncomment the line "MakeDllModules Yes" in
|
||||
xc/config/cf/xorgsite.def
|
||||
xc/config/cf/xorgsite.def.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are compiling the CVS version of the X server
|
||||
(the one that will eventually become 7.0), then this is
|
||||
already the default.
