Update of /cvsroot/oprofile/oprofile-www/release-notes In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv29645/release-notes Added Files: oprofile-0.3 Log Message: oprofile 0.3 release --- NEW FILE: oprofile-0.3 --- OProfile 0.3 has been released. OProfile is still in alpha, but has been proven stable for many users. Release notes ------------- For 2.2 kernels, the module must be compiled as the same user that owns the kernel source tree. nosmp is not supported in kernels before 2.4.10 (bug #463087). The pre-emptable kernel option is not supported (bug #478516). Power management on laptops can be incompatible with OProfile (bug #554927). New features ------------ The module build has been re-worked to automatically adapt itself to the flags needed for the kernel it is built against. Fixes many problems and bug #555304. You can now exclude symbols in the op_time listing. oprofpp has a new reverse sort (-r) option. oprofpp -s is an order of magnitude faster, and the percentages are now relative to the selected symbol. The System.map file is no longer required. Bug fixes --------- Empty sample files were sometimes created (bug #556918). It should be possible to build the GUI with Qt3 (bug #555694). It's now possible to get reports on samples in libraries when no samples were recorded for the main binary (bug #555276). An assumption that led to sample files being named as belonging to /dev/mem has been fixed (bug #584723). A rare post-profiling tools crash has been fixed (bug #557837). OProfile will now build with gcc 3.x (bug #570269). The oprof_start GUI was leaking file descriptors (bug #555268). Documentation clarification (bug #555302). Support for kernels up to 2.5.28 has been added (bug #573943). The vmlinux samples file is now backed up with op_session (bug #574459). The log file is backed up with op_session. Many small improvements. |
