TPROF/TRACE - GENERATE SYMBOLS with '-M' FLAG FOR ONLY THE SPECIFIED PROCESS

The '-M' flag is disruptive in a heavily used machine. If we can specify that trace only collect '-M' type information for a specific process name/PID, it would be much lighter weight. This DCR is opened to enhance '-M' to limit collections to a s...

TPROF - COLLECT VALID DATA WITHOUT TRACE '-M' FLAG

Tprof processing requires the trace '-M' flag( collect address map information and dump into trace ) in order to provide accurate information when generating a profile. The '-M' flag is "heavyweight" and can be disruptive in a live/sensitive syste...

TPROF - CPU USAGE OF TID RELATIVE TO PID/ OR PROCESS NAME WITH '-z' FLAG

Tprof profiles give % usage of routines/threads relative to the entire system load. This makes it difficult to identify top CPU consuming PIDs/TIDs and routines as it corresponds to the PID or process name. This DCR is opened to add a column for p...

TPROF - TIMESTAMP LIMITED PROFILING OF TRACE DATA

If a very large trace file is collected, the only option for tprof profiling is to process the entire trace data files. This DCR is opened to add a feature to tprof that will allow the user to limit the profiling to a specified start and end time ...

TPROF/GENSYMS - PROVIDE PROFILING SUPPORT FOR RELOCATED TEXT SEGMENTS

Currently tprof and gensyms do not provide information for text segments relocated using LDR_CTRL manipulations. This corresponds to processes allocated with HUGE_EXEC and cases where text code has been relocated to SEGMENT 2( as process private )...

Provide shared segment description when using 'svmon -S'

When svmon is invoked with the -S flag( segment report ), some shared memory segments are not being given their specific descriptions. If a shared memory segment has more than one process attached, svmon reports the segment with a description of "...

Increase performance of csum command

Starting with AIX 6.1, the performance of the csum command has dropped considerably, compared to AIX 5.3. AIX development support investigated and found that this was due to the csum command being modified to use libclic.a library functions. The a...
