guider [1] is a system-wide performance analyzer for platforms based
on linux kernel. it can measure vary system resource usage and
trace thread/process activities. and it reports vary meaningful
output to analyze system status.

Neat tool! I'll have to play with it a bit more.

Well, it seems to be more of a meta-tool that uses standard tools.
In addition, it improves usability at the cost of defining policy
such as immediately analyzing some data collection on target.
It would be nice to succinctly summarize that if you can.

It reports very meaningful output to analyze system status.

Shouldn't the packages that guider uses be recommended at least?
I'm not familiar with the app so maybe it can do useful things without
top, perf, etc.

Should we add a kernel cfg fragment?

Drop that line?

Thanks for your advice :)

Should I submit a new patch again after changing a below patch?
I am not familiar with this process ;)
It couldn't be reached to openembedded-devel members When I sent patch
first so that I sent github pull-request to Khem Raj.

Anyway, I agree with your comments (fixing typos, moving the recipe to
meta-tool, dropping last some lines).
But what does "*Shouldn't the packages that guider uses be recommended at
least?*" mean?
Guider only requires "python-ctypes, python-shell, python-json,
python-subprocess" package :)
Some kernel configurations and patches are needed to trace user-level
functions but it depends on users.

Happy new year!

I expect that Khem will do that once he wakes up.

We send patches to the oe-devel list, people comment, the gatekeeper
merges at some point. The process is documented here:

I thought that you were forking top, perf, etc and then screen-scrapping
  the output but it seems that you have reimplemented(parts of)
the functionality of these tools so we don't need to add a
DEPENDS/RECOMMENDS to the recipe to ensure that top for example
is added to the system image.

> python-subprocess" package :)

Khem's recipe has that covered then:

+RDEPENDS_${PN} = "python-ctypes python-shell \
+                  python-json python-subprocess"

The yocto-kenrel-cache:
 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-kernel-cache/tree/00-README

has the concept of features:
 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-kernel-cache/tree/features
such as:
 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-kernel-cache/tree/features/lttng

since this recipe is for meta-openembedded rather than oe-core,
we'd leave it up to users as you say. meta-openembedded depends on
oe-core but the two projects are organized by different people.



Do you have a document that explains your motivation for creating guider
and perhaps documents a few cases where it's better than the standard
tools? I likely just need to play with guider a bit more but it seems
like a use case that walked people though a performance issue that you
resolved more easily with guider than with the plethora of linux tools:
   http://www.brendangregg.com/linuxperf.html
would be good marketing.

Yes please prepare a v2 and its ok if you want to update your current pull on GH

The document for guider is only available at
https://iipeace.github.io/docs/guider.html.
I think so that I need to write more documents and articles for users of

It's my plan for this year :)

I submitted patch v2 to GitHub,
please check it out if Khem Raj move it to ML.


Thanks.
Peace Lee.
