SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-2.0-UK + +****************************************** +Yocto Project Profiling and Tracing Manual +****************************************** + +Introduction +============ + +Yocto bundles a number of tracing and profiling tools - this 'HOWTO' +describes their basic usage and shows by example how to make use of them +to examine 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 'HOWTO' 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 +(90%?) of problems. For help with more advanced usages and problems, +please see the documentation and/or websites listed for each tool. + +The final section of this 'HOWTO' is a collection of real-world examples +which we'll be continually adding to as we solve more problems using the +tools - feel free to add your own examples to the list! + +General Setup +============= + +Most of the tools are available only in 'sdk' images or in images built +after adding 'tools-profile' to your local.conf. So, in order to be able +to access all of the tools described here, please first build and boot +an 'sdk' image e.g. :: + + $ bitbake core-image-sato-sdk + +or alternatively by adding 'tools-profile' to the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line in +your local.conf: :: + + 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 +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 debuginfo, we also need to +set :term:`PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE` in the ``local.conf`` file: :: + + PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE = 'debug-file-directory' |
