We are pleased to announce OProfile 0.9.6 Release Candidate 1. This is primarily a bug-fix release. You can download this release at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/oprofile/files/ Please download and test this release candidate, and send your feedback by replying to this message. Please include your hardware platform and Linux distribution information in your reply. Thanks. -Maynard Johnson ----------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes =============== OProfile is a powerful system-wide profiler for Linux. Read more at http://oprofile.sf.net OProfile 0.9.6 has been released. OProfile is still in alpha, but has been proven stable for many users. New features ------------ None -- this is strictly a bug-fix release. Bug fixes --------- The main reason for this bug-fix release is to fix three regression bugs that occurred in 0.9.5: 1. bug #2845063: opcontrol cannot start daemon in timer mode 2. Improper handling of separate debuginfo files 3. XML callgraph output has no symbol-level sample counts Other fixes made in this release are: -Fix ophelp -X output for IBS events -Fix ophelp output for "counter:cpuid" and "ext:xxx" case -Fix opcontrol to prevent "Stopping profiling" message when profiler isn't running -Fix opcontrol to kill daemon only if it's running -Fix buffer overflows in xml generator, which can result in segfault -Add extra #includes in agents/jvmpi code since newer libstdc++ header files do not include standard C header files -Update events and unitmasks for AMD Family10 from publication 31116 revision 3.34 and fixes -Update events and groups for IBM POWER7 -Change element definition for callers and callees in opreport.xsd and bumped schema version to "3.0" -Fix start-daemon problem on ia64 Known problems -------------- If NMI watchdog is not disabled (x86), opcontrol may fail to allocate the hardware performance counter(s) it needs (bug #1468916). configure script fails to handle --without-java correctly (bug #2153620). When profiling stripped libraries where OProfile needs to access a debuginfo file, it's possible that src filename/line # information may be incorrect (bug #2573008). Many Alpha ev67 events do not work (bug #931875). For 2.2 kernels, the module must be compiled as the same user that owns the kernel source tree. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us! The BlackBerry(R) Developer Conference in SF, CA is the only developer event you need to attend this year. Jumpstart your developing skills, take BlackBerry mobile applications to market and stay ahead of the curve. Join us from November 9 - 12, 2009.

Please include your hardware platform and Linux distribution information in your reply. So far, I've run my oprofile testsuite on a POWER5 system, which includes JVMTI testing. Also manually verified handling of separate debuginfo files. *OProfile Community members*, please test this release candidate in your environments and give us your feedback.

Thanks those who have spent a little time to test this out. So far, there have been no problems found. I will give a few more days for further comments from the community. If no issues arise, I'll probably GA the 0.9.6 release sometime next week. Please try to give it a test run before then and let me know your results. Better to find any problems now than after GA.
