Yocto Project Profiling and Tracing Manual
|
||||
******************************************
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Yocto Project bundles a number of tracing and profiling tools --- this manual
|
||||
describes their basic usage and shows by example how to make use of them
|
||||
to analyze application and system behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
The tools presented are, for the most part, completely open-ended and have
|
||||
quite good and/or extensive documentation of their own which can be used
|
||||
to solve just about any problem you might come across in Linux. Each
|
||||
section that describes a particular tool has links to that tool's
|
||||
documentation and website.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of this manual is to present a set of common and generally
|
||||
useful tracing and profiling idioms along with their application (as
|
||||
appropriate) to each tool, in the context of a general-purpose
|
||||
'drill-down' methodology that can be applied to solving a large number
|
||||
of problems. For help with more advanced usages and problems,
|
||||
refer to the documentation and/or websites provided for each tool.
|
||||
|
||||
The final section of this manual is a collection of real-world examples
|
||||
which we'll be continually updating as we solve more problems using the
|
||||
tools --- feel free to suggest additions to what you read here.
|
||||
|
||||
General Setup
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the tools are available only in ``sdk`` images or in images built
|
||||
after adding ``tools-profile`` to your ``local.conf`` file. So, in order to be able
|
||||
to access all of the tools described here, you can build and boot
|
||||
an ``sdk`` image, perhaps one of::
|
||||
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-sato-sdk
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-weston-sdk
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-rt-sdk
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can add ``tools-profile`` to the :term:`EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES` line in
|
||||
your ``local.conf`` file::
|
||||
|
||||
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile"
|
||||
|
||||
If you use the ``tools-profile`` method, you don't need to build an sdk image ---
|
||||
the tracing and profiling tools will be included in non-sdk images as well e.g.::
|
||||
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-sato
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the Yocto build system strips symbols from the binaries
|
||||
it packages, which makes it difficult to use some of the tools.
|
||||
|
||||
You can prevent that by setting the
|
||||
:term:`INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP`
|
||||
variable to "1" in your ``local.conf`` when you build the image::
|
||||
|
||||
INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"
|
||||
|
||||
The above setting will noticeably increase the size of your image.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've already built a stripped image, you can generate debug
|
||||
packages (xxx-dbg) which you can manually install as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
To generate debug info for packages, you can add ``dbg-pkgs`` to
|
||||
:term:`EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES` in ``local.conf``. For example::
|
||||
|
||||
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile dbg-pkgs"
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, in order to generate the right type of debug info, we also need to
|
||||
set :term:`PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE` in the ``local.conf`` file::
|
||||
|
||||
PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE = 'debug-file-directory'
