Sysprof is a sampling CPU profiler that uses a ptrace in Linux kernel to
 profile the entire system, not just a single application. Sysprof handles
 shared libraries and applications do not need to be recompiled. In fact they
 don't even have to be restarted.
 .
 This package provides a static library for tools that generate profiling
 capture data. It can be linked into other projects to provide more
 detailed trace information.
