The actions for running the profiling tools we have now (Oprofile, Perf, Valgrind, Systemtap, GProf, etc.) are presenting themselves in the Profile As menu by name. This can be really confusing as some of them (Valgrind, Systemtap) are capable of more than one type of profiling making it hard to guess what type of profiling would one do if e.g "Profile with Valgrind" is chosen.
In order to simplify that we are looking to extend the profiling framework we have with simplified UI for running profiling per the type of profiling and not per tool. The types of profiling identified for now are:
- memory - Valgrind, Systemtap?
- function - Systemtap(Callgraph), Valgrind(Callgrind)
- timing - Oprofile, Perf, Systemtap?, GProf
- codecoverage - GCov
