Bug#445205: RFA: sysprof -- A system-wide linux profiler
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the sysprof package since I don't have time to
take care of it. Notice that the RC bug #439272 should be fixed once for
all by removing the dependency on libbfd since it changes regularly.
The package description is:
Sysprof is a sampling CPU profiler that uses a Linux kernel module to profile
the entire system, not just a single application. Sysprof handles shared
libraries and applications do not need to be recompiled. In fact they don't
even have to be restarted.
.
It has the following features:
- profiles all running processes, not just a single application
- has a simple graphical interface
- shows the time spent in each branch of the call tree
- profiles can be loaded and saved
.
You need the sysprof kernel module (provided in sysprof-module-source) to use
sysprof.
