Third Party Software: ------------------------------------------------------------ KernelShark has the following external dependencies: Cmake, Json-C, OpenGL/Glut, Qt5Base, libtraceevent, libtracefs, trace-cmd and FreeSans font. 1. In order to install the packages on Ubuntu do the following: sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake libjson-c-dev -y sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev -y sudo apt-get install flex bison -y sudo apt-get install fonts-freefont-ttf -y sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev -y 1.1 If you want to be able to generate Doxygen documentation: sudo apt-get install graphviz doxygen-gui -y 2. In order to install the packages on Fedora, as root do the following: sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ git cmake json-c-devel -y sudo dnf install freeglut-devel redhat-rpm-config -y sudo dnf install flex bison -y sudo dnf install gnu-free-sans-fonts -y sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase-devel -y 2.1 If you want to be able to generate Doxygen documentation: sudo dnf install graphviz doxygen -y 3. In order to install the final dependencies do the following: git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git/ cd libtraceevent make sudo make install git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/ cd libtracefs make sudo make install git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/trace-cmd/trace-cmd.git/ cd trace-cmd make make libs sudo make install sudo make install_libs Building: ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Building and install KernelShark GUI: cd kernel-shark/build cmake ../ make sudo ./install_gui.sh 1.1 In order to create a Doxygen documentation add -D_DOXYGEN_DOC=1 as a CMake Command-Line option (see the example below). 1.2 KernelShark has multiple build types. By default, the build type is RelWithDebInfo, which will build a release candidate with debug information. To change the type, pass in the option CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=(see the example below). cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug - for "-g" option cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release - for "-O3" option cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo - for "-g -O2" option (default) cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel - for "-Os" option 1.3 In addition to the standard CMake build types (Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel) KernelShark supports a "Package" build type. By default this build type adds the "-O3" compiler flag. Package maintainers can chose their own compiler flags by providing the corresponding CMAKE_XXXX_FLAGS_PACKAGE Command-Line options (see the example below). -- Note that when built as a "Package" the RPATH-s of the executables are set directly to _INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/kernelshark/ 1.4 After building the code "kernel-shark/lib" will contain all libraries and "kernel-shark/bin" will contain all executables. 1.5 Use the script "cmake_clean.sh" if you want to delete all already compiled objects and all files generated by CMake. cd kernel-shark/build ./cmake_clean.sh 1.6 By default, installation prefix is "/usr/local". It can be changed using -D_INSTALL_PREFIX= as a CMake Command-Line option (see the example below). 2. To install libkshark-devel do: sudo ./install_libkshark-devel.sh This will install all components needed in order to use "libkshark". Note that if you just use: sudo make install this will install both the GUI and libkshark-devel. 3. In order to uninstall KernelShark (no matter what has been installed) do: cd kernel-shark/build ./cmake_uninstall.sh CMake examples: cmake -D_DOXYGEN_DOC=1 -D_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Package -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_PACKAGE="-O3 -pedantic" ../ Contributions: ------------------------------------------------------------ 3.
