Quick steps of how to create a flame graph using perf

The prep-script.sh will setup the latest Node and install the latest perf version on your Linux box.

When you want to generate the flame graph, run the following (folder locations taken from install script):

sudo sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
# May also have to do the following:

sudo sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=0

function bar () { return foo(); }
bar();
$ node test.js &

Olegas / post-update
Created December 10, 2012 07:21 — forked from dchest/post-update
Git post-update hook to checkout working copy and publish it with jekyll (put it into .git/hooks and chmod +x post-update)
#!/bin/sh
#
# This hook does two things:
#
# 1. update the "info" files that allow the list of references to be
# queries over dumb transports such as http
#
# 2. if this repository looks like it is a non-bare repository, and
# the checked-out branch is pushed to, then update the working copy.
# This makes "push" function somewhat similarly to darcs and bzr.
