Source tarballs

Note: we do not distribute binaries. Most of the major distributions ship their own versions of OProfile; problems found when using their versions must be reported to them, not us.

Additional patches

There are a number of additional patches to the kernel driver you may need or find useful.

Git Repository

You can access the source via Git :

git clone git://oprofile.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/oprofile/oprofile

Building Git

You will need automake and autoconf. automake 1.5 and autoconf 2.13 are the minimum versions supported; automake 1.7.1, and autoconf 2.54, 2.55 are also known to work. You will need to have an XSL stylesheets installation (and xsltproc etc.) installed to change the documentation. Remember to run autogen.sh before attempting to build as normal.

Git branches

The 'perf-events' branch is an experimental branch intended for porting OProfile to the Linux Performance Events kernel subsystem (aka "perf-events"). This branch was initially created on Jan 14, 2012 and populated with an initial proof-of-concept implementation. See the mailing list for more details.

The JIT_SUPPORT branch has been merged with mainline. No further development work should be done in this branch.

Every source release gets tagged in Git with the release name, e.g. RELEASE_0_5.
