Sysprof is a sampling profiler that uses a kernel module to generate
|
|
stacktraces which are then interpreted by the userspace program
|
|
"sysprof".

Debugging symbols
|
|
|
|
- The programs and libraries you want to profile should be compiled
|
|
with -fno-omit-frame-pointer and have debugging symbols available,
|
|
or you won't get much usable information.

Building Sysprof
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You need some packages installed. The package names may vary depending on your
|
|
distribution, the following command works on Fedora 25:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install gcc make autoconf automake autopoint libtool ghc-gio
|
|
|
|
Then do the following:
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh # configure, generate makefiles etc.
|
|
make # Build the code
|
|
make install # Install (default prefix /usr/local)
|
|
|
|
WARNING: `make install` will mostly install under the configured install prefix
|
|
but installs systemd service configuration directly in the system default
|
|
location `/usr/lib/systemd` so it won't work without root privileges, even if
|
|
the install prefix is a user-owned directory.
