RHBA-2018:1785 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated devtoolset-7-oprofile packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Developer Toolset.

Description

OProfile is a low-overhead, system-wide profiler that uses the performance monitoring hardware on the processor to retrieve information about the kernel and executables on the system. The devtoolset-7-oprofile packages provide the Red Hat Developer Toolset version of OProfile.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the OProfile tool failed to recognize the CPU on the IBM POWER9 architecture because of a change in the "/proc/cpuinfo" string describing the CPU. As a consequence, OProfile could not be used on this architecture. OProfile has been extended to recognize the new format of this string and can be used on the IBM POWER9 architecture again. (BZ#1571926)

Users of devtoolset-7-oprofile are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
