Arch Linux User Repository

Manual download of tarball required from upstream

@chapa You have to go to the website and manually download the tar.bz file to the directory where you cloned the package repo. It's behind a EULA, which is why makepkg isn't able to download it automatically. After that, makepkg should work properly.

AMDuProf_Linux_x64_3.4.468.tar.bz2 not found in build directory & source download error. ( Need help, thanks.

I forgot to update the md5sum for the tarball in this package. Should work now, apologies.

Oh, I didn't know there is a kernel module to hook deeper into the system. Will implement this today.

Here is a complete PKGBUILD including the kernel module required by the power profile:

_pkgname=AMDuProf_Linux_x64
pkgname=amd-uprof
pkgver=3.4.468
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc='Runtime performance analysis tool for applications'
arch=(x86_64)
url='https://developer.amd.com/amd-uprof/'
license=(custom)
depends=(dkms)
source=("AMDuProf_Linux_x64_$pkgver.tar.bz2")
md5sums=('571b9dd6abc931153c9ab038962bcbf7')

# Requirements:
# Visit https://developer.amd.com/amd-uprof/, download the Linux archive and place it in the same
# directory as this PKGBUILD

package() {
  # uProf
  install -d "$pkgdir"/{opt,usr/bin}
  cp -dr --no-preserve=ownership "$srcdir"/${_pkgname}_${pkgver} "$pkgdir"/opt/$pkgname
  ln -s /opt/$pkgname/bin/{AMDRemoteAgent,AMDuProf,AMDuProfCLI} "$pkgdir"/usr/bin

  # Kernel module
  cd "$srcdir"/${_pkgname}_${pkgver}
  local _modname=AMDPowerProfiler
  local _modver=$(cat bin/AMDPowerProfilerVersion)
  tar zxf bin/AMDPowerProfilerDriverSource.tar.gz -C "$srcdir"

  cd "$srcdir"/${_modname}-${_modver}
  install -d "$pkgdir"/usr/src/${_modname}-${_modver}
  cp -dr --no-preserve=ownership {inc/,src/,AMDPowerProfilerVersion,dkms.conf,Makefile} \
    "$pkgdir"/usr/src/${_modname}-${_modver}

  echo $_modname | install -Dm 644 /dev/stdin "$pkgdir"/etc/modules-load.d/$pkgname.conf
  # TODO: The following tmpfile won't work. Instead add a systemd service file running
  # `/bin/mknod /dev/AMDPowerProfiler -m 666 c $(/bin/cat /proc/AMDPowerProfiler/device) 0` after the kernel module has been loaded.
  #echo "c /dev/$_modname 666 root root - 234:0" |
  #  install -Dm 644 /dev/stdin "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/$pkgname.conf
}

EDIT: The char device will need a fix as the major version is not static.

Are people able to install uprof using this? Has this been testing in a vm?

I can't seem to get it installed and I get no errors. lmod, nor env-modules causes a successful installation, meaning I can't find uprof in my system after using this.

Sorry for the delay.

I checked the files and there are actually conflicting libraries etc. for putting this in /usr.

Small update where MANPATH and PYTHONPATH are also being set.

Let me know what you think about loading this (along with aocc/aocl) with env-modules/lmod, it's being used a lot in HPC environments.

I'll adapt the package later today to install into /usr prefix as it shouldn't conflict with other packages as with aocc and aocl.

Actually it's quite easy to install, just add downloaded amd archive into your helper package build directory, i.e. in case of yay it's /home/user/.cache/yay/amduprof/. I suppose it's always where PKGBUILD will be located upon install.

The modulefile is part of the repo: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/modulefile?h=amduprof

Your AUR helper should download it when trying to install the package. Or when you clone the Git Clone URL.
