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.
Linux kernel version received bump to 3.0 that causes configure to
complain about older kernel. To avoid the warning configure needs to
check major and minor versions before micro.

* process.c (process_get_vdso_bytes): New function.
* elfparser.c (parser_new_from_data): export this function as
elf_parser_new_from_data().
* binfile.c (read_inode): Don't stat if filename is
'[vdso]'. Instead just return -1;
(bin_file_new): Use elf_parser_new_from_data() when the file is
[vdso].
* process.c (read_maps): Change the offset of the vdso map to 0
and the inode to -1.
* elfparser.c (elf_parser_lookup_symbol): Remove unused 'size'
variable.
* binfile.c (find_separate_debug_file): Deal with cycles in the
debuglink graph.
* configure.ac: Set version to 1.1.0. Print warning about HEAD.

* configure.ac:
* module/sysprof-module.c: (timer_notify), (sysprof_open),
(sysprof_release): more ifdef's to make it work with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4's 2.6.9-based kernel
Sat Jan 14 18:24:43 2006 Soeren Sandmann <sandmann@redhat.com>
* configure.ac, Makefile.am: Only build GUI when the necessary
dependencies are found.
* sysprof.c (compute_text_width): Remove unused variable
* profile.c (build_object_list): Follow next instead of siblings.

screen_width.
* configure.ac: Disable warning.

* module/sysprof-module.c (read_frame): New function that uses
copy_from_user_inatomic() as check_user_pages_readable() has
disappeared in recent kernels.
* module/sysprof-module.c (timer_notify): Use it here.
* TODO: Updates
* configure.ac: Change the wording of the CVS HEAD warning as this
change seems to also have fixed the lockup with rawhide kernels.
+
+ * configure.ac: Make the message about the kernel source package
+ more informative. Code from Kjetil Torgrim Homme.
+
+ * sysprof.c (on_start_toggled): Only delete the data if the
+ profiling can actually be started.

* configure.ac: Complain if we can't find /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/build/Makefile.
* process.c (process_lookup_symbol): Take an address of 0x1 to
mean "in kernel".
* module/sysprof-module.c (timer_notify): When reporting in-kernel
time, give the current pid instead of -1.
* TODO: updates

* TODO: Updates
* configure.ac: Check for Linux 2.6.11
* process.c (get_pidname): Present pid=-1 as [kernel].
* module/sysprof-module.c: Use register_timer_hook() instead of
a kernel timer. Set trace.pid to -1 if interrupt happens in
kernel.

Auto*ify.
* TODO: updates
* AUTHORS, INSTALL, Makefile.am, NEWS, configure.ac: New files
* module/Makefile: New file
* module/sysprof-module.c, module/sysprof-module.h: Move these
files to their own directy, as the kernel build system does not
work very well with auto*.
* sysprof.c, autogen.sh: Some auto* changes.
