It takes some extra 13MB (and in dev, not out), but allows perf to show kernel
symbols when profiling. I think it is worth it.
In my NixOS, I refer to it in the system derivation, for easy telling to perf
through /run/booted-system/vmlinux:
system.extraSystemBuilderCmds = ''
ln -s ${config.boot.kernelPackages.kernel.dev}/vmlinux $out/vmlinux
'';
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
