We might want to add a CTRADD type later on, for relative values rather
than absolute. But this should get us started.
Simply define counters upfront, and then set them during the capture
process.
Obviously, we need to come up with a good way to visualize this
information in the UI.
For some systems, such as embedded Linux including ARM, we might want to
just compile libsysprof/sysprof-cli without the GTK user interface. This
allows for that. You can copy the capture files to your visualization
host to render the results.
This will make it easier to support installing just sysprof-cli and the
sysprofd helper daemon on systems where GTK is not feasible or necessary.
This does not, however, do that. It simply gets things broken up into
pieces.
This is a major redesign a modernization of Sysprof. The core data
structures and design are largely the same, but it has been ported to
Gtk3 and has lots of additions that should make your profiling experience
smoother. Especially for those that are new to profiling.
There are some very simple help docs added, but we really need the
experts to come in and write some documentation here.
